Chem 36B (Biological Option)

This page is designed to provide information specific to Chem 36B. Here, you will find experiments which qualify as having a "biological twist" and information concerning the requirements of team-work in the Chem 36B lab.

Course Mission: Many of the experiments in this lab will be done working as teams. In the 36B lab, there are four teams consisting of the 5 people at each of the hoods. Often, each person will do the experiment, but the data will be pooled for comparison purposes. At other times, each member of a team will carry out part of the work as directed. Unless told otherwise, each individual will hand in their own reports.
