Chemistry (12) The traditional way of teaching chemistry to undergraduate chemistry majors at most colleges and universities is to include a series of laboratory courses that complement the lecture courses. Each lab course has experiments chosen for their relevance to the concurrent lecture material. This project is implementing a prototype of a new laboratory curriculum, in which experiments are chosen not just for their relevance to concurrent course material, but also to illustrate and reinforce the connections between topics taught at different levels. A variety of experiments from current literature is being adapted for use in the new curriculum. The curriculum has two key features not present in the current curriculum: (1) sequences of experiments that begin in the introductory course and continue with increasing sophistication and application to more advanced concepts in the upper-level courses; and (2) utilization of laser technology in all lab courses to illustrate and reinforce the connections between concepts. The laser experimental system also enables several modem concepts to be introduced into the laboratory curriculum that were previously only presented as theory in the lecture courses.

化学（12）在大多数高校，对本科化学专业的化学教学的传统方式是包括一系列实验课程，以补充讲座课程。每门实验课都有一些实验，这些实验是根据它们与同期授课材料的相关性而选择的。该项目正在实施一个新的实验室课程的原型，其中选择实验不仅是因为它们与并行课程材料的相关性，而且还为了说明和加强不同级别教授的主题之间的联系。目前正在对现有文献中的各种实验进行改编，以供新课程使用。 该课程有两个主要特点，目前的课程不存在：（1）实验序列，开始在入门课程，并继续与越来越复杂和应用到更先进的概念，在上层课程;和（2）利用激光技术在所有的实验室课程，以说明和加强概念之间的联系。激光实验系统还使几个现代概念被引入到实验室课程，以前只作为理论在讲座课程。
