*Today we will be participating in a spot test lab. Before you begin the lab:

*Read the information on the bottom of page 136 in your book. Make a prediction: what types of drugs do you think spot tests would be most effective for. Be prepared to support your answer.

*Once you have read and predicted, check in with Mrs. O and she will give you materials needed to complete the lab.

* It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep track of what the chemicals/powders are that you are working with. They all look very similar and will be very easy to mix up.

*Once you have completed all tests for each drug, you must answer questions #1 – 5 on page 138 in your book.
