Read Chapter 1 of the Laboratory Manual before coming to the laboratory for the first time. You must be familiar with the safety precautions (Section 1.2), the rules for working in the laboratory (Section 1.3). You are expected to have approved safety goggles, a padlock, and a hardbound laboratory notebook with numbered pages. You should also bring matches, towels, soap and similar items (Section 1.8). Students are expected to have part of the laboratory notebook written in advance of performing each experiment. If a pre-lab writeup is not done the laboratory instructor may choose not to allow the student to perform the experiment.

Approved safety goggles must be worn at all times in the laboratory. Failure to do so will result in the student not being allowd to continue in the laboratory exercise.
