Laboratory Investigations

Each Laboratory Investigation will be scored according to the guide in the Laboratory Manual.  There are seven experiments, laboratory check-in, and laboratory check-out.  An important note: a score of 49 of 70 laboratory points are required to receive a grade of a D- or higher in CH 122 (in other words, you must pass lab to pass CH 122).
