Environmental Science: Lab Manual and Notebook: Volume 1: The Science

Environmental Science: Lab Manual and Notebook Volume 1: The Science serves two purposes: 

• to provide students with the information necessary to conduct activities and experiments that will enhance their understanding of environmental science through a hands-on approach that cannot be provided in the lecture classroom setting
• to function as a modified version of the traditional laboratory notebook

Environmental Science: Lab Manual and Notebook Volume 1: The Science contains three sections:

1. Introductory Material: contains material of an introductory nature – provides information on the purpose, content, and organization of this manual
2. Lab Exercises: consists of an activity or group of activities related to one or more environmental science topics or concepts. The general format of the exercises is:

• Introduction
