Understand the basic principles of chemistry experimentally and learn basic operations for safe experiments. Through various experiments related to the synthesis, separation, purification, and identification of compounds, students will become familiar with the handling of various reagents, laboratory instruments, and measuring devices, and learn the basic operations of chemical experiments. In addition, emphasis will be placed on training for preparing experimental reports, such as how to process measurement data and how to organize charts.

Acquire general and basic knowledge of chemistry and experimental techniques before taking specialized experiments. Through actual experiments, students will learn (I) Attitudes to carry out experiments, (II) Basic flow of experiments and how to pay attention to safety, (III) Basic handling of general reagents and laboratory equipment, (IV) learn how to process data and create charts.

In general and basic experiments in chemistry, students will be able to understand the flow of experiments, select appropriate experimental equipment, and carry out the experiments safely. Students will be able to appropriately process the obtained data and create diagrams and tables in a format suitable for the field of chemistry. Students will be able to logically explain the experiments conducted and the results obtained, including discussions.

Students are divided into two classes, OKa and OKb, and all experiments are conducted face-to-face. The detailed schedule and group division will be announced at the guidance. 

Grades are evaluated from the following reports. Report are submitted on LETUS.
1. Preparation report to be submitted before class. The homework assignments are announced in the documents from the previous week.
2. An experimental report summarizing the experimental method, experimental results, experimental discussions, and additional questions. The submission deadline is one week after the face-to-face training.

Wear a lab coat and safety glasses during practical training.
Depending on the situation, the implementation plan for face-to-face training may change, so please refer to LETUS frequently.

Evaluation is mainly based on preparation reports and experiment reports. In addition to reports, attention is also paid to the status of attendance and attitude. In addition, in order to check the preparation status and progress of the experiment, we may ask you to submit an experiment plan and experiment notes.

Although not specified, various experimental manuals should be referred to in order to establish an appropriate experimental plan. In addition, since the experiment is based on what you have learned so far, the designated textbooks of other classes are useful for understanding.
