I'm looking for a book or curriculum for Lab to accompany my lectures.
Any suggestions? (high school level)

MIT has free HS curriculums available online. There are numerous Xtian curriculums for sale online as well. Do your students have access to an equipped chemistry lab? (Not just glassware and gas but fume hoods as well.)

No Chemistry lab currently .
The most I can do is bring a burner.

If you don't have a lab why would you need a lab curriculum?

Take a look at the MIT stuff, perhaps there is something you can use or adapt.

To spark interest.
Not all lab experiments require an actual laboratory. Acid/ base indicators and testing for pH, chromatography etc are things that I have done in the past that do not require an equipped laboratory.
I'm looking for more (and new) ideas.
I'll take a look at the MIT stuff.
Thank you!

If that is the case the MIT stuff may be too advanced for your students. Testing ph etc is pretty much middle school science.

Can you tell me a little more about it? Does it have a comprehensive Lab section? Which specific edition would you recommend. I have quite an old edition,(I'm teaching for ten years.) and don't find it useful.

Sorry. I should have specified that I'm following a NYS Regents curriculum so I'm basically looking for something that can go along with that.
Any regents teachers out there?

(I will definitely check out your recommendation though and see if I can adapt anything at all.)
