A project of the National Science Foundation, ChemConnections modules use guided, discovery-based learning activities to promote a deep understanding of a broad range of chemistry concepts and problem-solving techniques. Each module poses a central question for example, "What's in a Star?" or "How Can We Make Our Water Safe to Drink?" that students investigate through guided discussions, collaborative laboratory work, reading and writing assignments, case teaching, policy simulations, Web research, and videos.

This introductory laboratorymanual will help students design a sampling plan, understand theinstrumental and analytical techniques used for the assessment ofwater quality, learn how to interpret data and use statisticalanalyses, and apply scientific reasoning to an environmentalproblem.
