Heads up, hero!   You're gonna need three things for chem lab this semester:  a LAB MANUAL, a LAB NOTEBOOK, a COMBINATION LOCK, and a CALCULATOR.

Lab Manuals are available for $14.65 at the Co-op along the back wall.  You must have the Spring 2009 edition with the blue and white cover (see picture below).  Buy yours early because the Co-op WILL run out!

Lab notebooks like the one pictured below are $14.50 from the Duplicating office in the main hallway of Welch (room 2.228) or $15 from the Co-op.  You don't have to have that exact same kind, but the one you get must have DUPLICATE, NUMBERED pages.  You will need one with 100 pages.

You can get a combination lock from the Co-op for $5 in aisle 7, or just buy one anywhere that fine personal security devices are sold.

Make sure your calculator does exponents and logs.  Don't show up with a business calculator that will amortize your mortgage in two easy steps but won't allow you to calculate pH if your life depends on it. And don't show up with a little, pink Hello Kitty calculator that gives off a high-pitched beep every time you press a button.  (I know I shouldn't have to say these things, but guess what happens when I don't...)

Get it?

Got it!

Good.
