A hybrid practical and semester exam, used in place of a traditional fall semester exam. This assumes an IPC course where chemistry topics are taught in the fall and physics topics in the spring.

Students complete a pre-lab answering questions related to the chemistry-focused fall semester and the upcoming lab. In the lab, students observe the solubility of a variety of solutes in a variety of solvents, and draw conclusions about the bonding nature of the solutes and solvents observed.
