Using a Spec to Work Cross Curricular-ly

Submitted by Dave Menshew on 5 June, 2012.

On the right is one of our Spec-20D units that we use in cooperation with the chemistry teachers. We have both adopted numerous online and text published protocols as well as some developed by our year four students. Through the use of the specs, we teach investigation and experimentation, Beer's law, measurements, accuracy, precision, and good lab practice.
