Chem3730 Laboratory Syllabus
Introduction
There will be three types of activities in the laboratory:
(1) learning to use data processing tools, particularly Excel; (2) exploring computer-based 
environmental simulations; (3) collecting and analyzing environmental data

Lab Schedule
The laboratory will meet on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.  Lab meetings will be held in OH105, 
the Physical Chemistry Lab and the Chemistry Reference Room.  Labs will often cover a
two-week period and involve an activity with Excel and a simulation(SIM)/hands-on lab 
activity.  A report will be submitted for each lab.  An "Activity Sheet" will be 
submitted for other lab assignments.  The reports and "Activity Sheets" are due on 
the date for the following lab.
