These experiments will require more careful planning and a greater ability to handle unforeseen problems in the laboratory. Consequently, these labs are worth a larger percentage of your grade than your Core Experiments. It is important that you communicate any major difficulties experienced and discuss possible extensions to the work (additional characterization methods, variants etc.).
I encourage you to explore the use of new techniques in your Development Experiments. As we only have six lab teams this semester and we want you to broaden your horizons, only one team may work on a given experiment each week. I encourage you to seek experiments that seem interesting to you, expose you to new techniques or broaden your range of chemical experience.
Only one lab team may sign up for a given experiment each week. Try to pick a set of experiments that exposes you to a variety of new techniques or concepts.
As with your Independent Experiment, you will perform these experiments with your lab partner and each of you will submit your own individual lab reports.
