Lab Notebook

Starting in the 2013 Winter term, our team learned laboratory techniques and protocols. We began research on the effects of fracking and the chemical characteristics of toxic water contaminants: Catechol, naphthalene, and lead. Over the spring semester of 2014, six full time team members were working tirelessly on the project. Here, we present a summary of our daily progress and experiments.
