Hi Frankie -

I don't know if it is a "lab skill" so much as a necessary skill for doing lab calculations, but I would add using a scientific calculator for exponents, logs, etc.� Also, using volumetric glassware to prepare solutions.� This might be asking too much, as most high schools have limited resources.

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?
