AbstractPractical introduction to the basics of the scientific method, materials science, physics and chemistry in the form of laboratory experiments and projects, some of which are closely related to the lectures in the first year. Important chemical and physical methods are tested, project work is practiced and the basics of working safely in the laboratory are learned.
Learning objectiveThe students
- keep a laboratory journal independently, completely and appropriately.
- can evaluate and display measurement data in a targeted manner.
- are able to write laboratory reports appropriately.
- know the communicative and rhetorical factors that are decisive for the success of an oral presentation.
- create effective presentation documents.
- know the general safety rules and disposal concepts for working in laboratories and apply them practically.
- proceed correctly in case of accidents and evacuations.
- learn practically how to fight a fire (fire protection course of the ETH).
- apply the basic knowledge in analytics, chemistry, physics and materials science acquired in the base year in a practical way.
- practice carrying out small experiments or small projects independently under supervision.
ContentIn the area of scientific work: Keeping lab journals, data analysis, writing reports, presentation techniques, Test preparation and introduction to safe working and behaviour in the lab.
Lab experiments: Experiments from the fields of synthetic and analytical chemistry and experiments from the fields of physics and materials science, e.g: Mechanical/thermal properties (e.g. modulus of elasticity, fracture mechanics), thermodynamics, colloid chemistry, "particle tracking" with DLS and microscopy, surface technology, "wood, stone and metal" processing, and electrochemistry. Some practical experiments are organized as short projects (two afternoons), e.g. "Building a microscope from a webcam", etc.
In the projects: Two "reverse engineering" projects with everyday objects: Analysis of construction and materials, functioning in the overall context, life cycle of materials, alternative materials, etc.
Lecture notesInstructions and further information on the individual experiments and projects (objectives, theory, experimental procedure, notes on evaluation) are available on the following website (https://praktikum.mat.ethz.ch).

AbstractTo impart basic knowledge and experimental competence using selected examples from chemistry and physics.
Learning objectiveTo impart basic knowledge and experimental competence using selected examples from chemistry and physics.
ContentChemistry III: Synthesis of PMMA via Transesterification; PET recycling or manufacture of poly(methylmethacrylat) via radical polymerization of methylmethacrylat; 3D-printing.
Physics I: Powder diffractometry, single crystal radiography, capillary rheometry, viscoelasticity of the polymer melt (or an equivalent exp.), 2 phyiscs experiments (out of 4) at the EMPA: e.g. X-ray flourescence analysis, impedance measurements of batteries, "power to gas" or texture measurement, building a Lithium ionic battery; and two further physic experiments at D-Phys (e.g. about "elastic constants" or "inference and diffraction" ).
Lecture notesNotes with information for each experiment (aim of the experiment, theory, experimental procedure, data analysis) can be downloaded from the web (https://praktikum.mat.ethz.ch or https://www.mat.ethz.ch/studies/bachelor/laborpraktische-ausbildung.html).
Prerequisites / NoticeVoraussetzungen: 1. Erfolgreiche Teilnahme sowohl am D-MATL Praktikum I als auch II. 2. Bestandene Chemie I/II Prüfung und/oder bestandene Basisprüfung. Über allfällige Ausnahmen entscheidet der Praktikumsverantwortliche auf Anfrage.
