I would like to suggest cleaning up or common lab
courtesy. They may need to ask for help to properly clean up after they
spill something, but I had so many people come into various workplaces and leave
bits of powder or liquid on balance pans, residue around sinks and such.
The following person doesn't know what that substance is or who left it
there. We ended up with balances with pitted pans for example because
someone didn't clean up after him/herself.

Skills
OK - I am working on a few different things all of which require a
listing of basic laboratory skills for general chemistry - i.e. those things
they should have learned in high school science. There is no definitive
list out there - and in fact - I am not finding a good one at
all.
Here is my list:
- measuring to the proper
significant figures
- Using a triple beam balance
-
Transferring liquids
- mixing liquids and solids
- Heating
materials
- smelling a liquid
- Pipeting
-
titration
- writing a laboratory report
- using a bunsen
burner
What others should be on the list?
