In order to add information into this template, you will need to understand the parameters to be added. Parameters are separated by vertical bars, {{Template|Parameter1=Yes|Parameter2=Demo|etc.}}. Each section has its own template, but only two require you to enter information, as follows:

LabData

This has six parameters:

• Duration: Time that the experiment takes.
  • Enter Duration=45 mins or similar. The default is Duration=Not known
• No. of parts: Some are multi-part experiments, so you can show this here.
  • Enter NoParts=2 for a two-part expt, etc. The default is NoParts=1
• Student level: Typically this is Introductory (ages up to 14), Intermediate (ages up to 16), Advanced (ages up to 18) or University (Undergraduate & beyond).
  • Enter Level=Intermediate or similar. If suitable for several level, enter Level=Introductory, intermediate. Default is Level=Not known
• Topic: This could be oxidation & reduction, alcohols, etc. If the experiment is from Practical Chemistry, this would be the categories.
  • Enter Topic=Oxidation and reduction, metals By default, Topic=Not known
• Type (demo, or student lab): Just to show if the experiment is for students to do themselves, or if it's a demo by the teacher, or something else.
  • Enter Type=Demo or Type=Student practical or other. By default. Type=Not known.
• PPE: Personal protective equipment to be used by the person conducting the experiment.
  • Enter None or Goggles and gloves and similar. By default, PPE=See teacher notes.

LabClassification

This has three parameters:

• RSC Practical Chemistry?: This indicates if the lab is part of the RSC's "Practical Chemistry" collection, a published collection found at http://www.practicalchemistry.org/.
  • Enter PractChem=Yes or PractChem=No (Default = PractChem=No)
• Health & Safety reviewed?: Only put SafetyReview=Yes if an RSC Health & Safety
  • Enter SafetyReview=Yes or SafetyReview=No; if you know the month in which it was done, enter that as SafetyReview=Jun 2009 or similar. (Default = SafetyReview=No)
• Published?: Only put Published=Yes if this experiment has been approved by the RSC ShareChemistry lab review process.
  • Enter Published=Yes or Published=No (Default = Published=No)
