Pre-Lab Assignments
Before beginning an experiment, your students should know lab safety procedures and be familiar with the equipment and materials they will be using. You might also want to ensure that your students have read information in the textbook beforehand, so they can gain the most benefit from their time in the lab. Assigning a pre-lab quiz covering such information helps motivate your students to be prepared before they enter the lab.
Usually, pre-lab quizzes will be short, timed (15 minutes or less) assignments that cover the relevant safety procedures, lab equipment, and possibly other assigned reading. This helps to ensure that your students cannot skim the reading material or check other sources for the answers.
Most questions will be multiple-choice or short-answer, but you might use image map questions when having your students identify parts of lab equipment. Often, you will want to use question pools so your students cannot share answers.
Pre-lab quizzes should be given as individual, not group, assignments, and should be due one hour before the lab starts.

Lab Prep Tips
Review these pre-lab tips before starting an experiment.
- Complete any pre-lab assignments or homework. The information and calculations are intended to make the lab exercise quicker and easier.
- Know the location of the lab safety equipment and understand how to use it. In particular, know the location of the emergency exit, fire extinguisher, eyewash station, and safety shower.
- Read through the experiment before going to the lab. Make sure you understand the steps of the experiment. Jot down any questions you have so that you can ask them before starting the lab.
- Start filling out your lab notebook with information about the experiment. It's a good idea to draw out your data table in advance so all you need to do in the lab is fill it in with numbers.
- Review the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) of the chemicals you will be using during the lab.
- Make certain you have all of the glassware, materials, and chemicals needed to complete the lab before starting any part of the procedure.
- Understand disposal procedures for the chemicals and other items used in your experiment. If you are unclear about what to do with your experiment after it has been completed, ask your instructor about it. Don't throw items in the trash or dump liquids down the drain or in waste disposal containers until you are certain it is acceptable to do so.
- Be prepared to take data in the lab. Bring your notebook, a pen, and a calculator.
- Have personal safety gear, such as a lab coat and goggles , clean and ready to use before the lab.
