1Understand how scientific equipment and analog and/or digital instruments are used to obtain data measurements.

2Understand safe laboratory practices and proper chemical hygiene methods associated with an experiment.

3Develop observational skills during experiments to collect quality data and articulate observations in their laboratory reports.

4Maintain ethical and trustworthy recordkeeping and reporting methods: recording data precisely, deciding on when a data set is kept or discarded for the experiments performed.

5Analyze experimentally obtained data by use calculations and mathematical analysis techniques, such as graphical analysis of data sets.

6Interpret experimental data and analyze this data using scientific models, concepts, representations, and equations.

7Use evidenced-based reasoning to make claims and critique results. Make connections between lab results and the theories/concepts learned in lecture.
