Conceptual Modules Nature of Science Modules
HOME PRELABS MODULES Our collection of modules can be assembled to create the personalized learning experience you want for your students. There are four types of modules: Conceptual, Nature of Science, Safety, and Activity. Click below to see all available modules. CONCEPTUAL MODULES NATURE OF SCIENCE MODULES SAFETY MODULES ACTIVITY MODULES Conceptual Modules TOP Conceptual Modules prepare students to understand how the assigned lab demonstrates lecture content. Why does the lab go with the lecture? What does the lab demonstrate about the content? Each module name includes a lecture concept and a type of lab technique, tying experiments to concepts. For example, “Photosynthesis and Paper Chromatography” helps students understand how a paper chromatography lab demonstrates the lecture concept of photosynthesis.
