Module developed by Royace Aikin and Daniel Kallus, the Texas team.

Braun, R. D. (1987). Introduction to instrumental analysis. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill.

This is a recent textbook that gives broad coverage of instrumental methods in chemistry, although some topics are omitted. All of the instrumental methods considered in this module are included. Other textbooks equally good are available.

Ember, L. (1991). EPA issues more tap water rules. Chemical & Engineering News, 69(3), 15.

C&EN is an excellent source of current news and reports affecting society in general and chemists and chemistry in particular. It is a source for items of information about science-technology-society interaction and about "breakthroughs" in the understanding of chemistry, yet it is quite readable by students and teachers.

Lippincott, W. T., Gailey, K. D., Meek, D. W., and Whitten, K. W. (1984). Experimental general chemistry . Philadelphia, PA: Saunders.

An excellent laboratory manual that may well serve as a general reference for general laboratory procedures and instrumental techniques. The laboratory manual may also be used to select particular parts of experiments to use with high school classes.

Parry, R. W., Bassow, H., and Merrill, P. (1987). Chemistry: Experimental foundations (4th Ed.). Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall.

The only CHEMS-derived text currently published. Very good information, especially how to present chemistry from an experimental point of view. The companion teacher's guide is a must.

Wilbraham, A. C., Staley, D. D., Simpson, C. J., and Matta. M. S. (1987). Chemistry laboratory manual. Menlo Park, CA: Addison-Wesley.

A good, solid high school chemistry laboratory manual, although in a somewhat cookbook style. It presents useful experiments including a good presentation of laboratory safety and laboratory techniques.

Willard, H. H., Merritt, L. L., Jr., Dean, J. A., and Settle., F. A., Jr. (1988). Instrumental methods of analysis (7th Ed.). Belmont, CA: Wadsworth.

A basic text in instrumental analysis that doubles as an excellent reference in this subject.
