This article describes one way of approaching the development of a course in laboratory work in which units are designed in a systematic way." (Author)

Behavioral objectives with minimum performance levels and illustrations are presented. The objectives are suggested on the basis of two arguments: first, they provide a basis for selection of laboratory content; second, they are stated in currently acceptable form. (DF)

Describes rationale, need, and purpose of three lists of objectives (included in appendices) of objectives for skills and abilities related to experimental, practical work in biology, chemistry, and physics. (SK)
