The entire tape, or relevant segments of the tape, can be used to review procedures used in subsequent experiments that rely on the traditional art of quantitative analysis laboratory practice. The techniques included are:

• Quantitative transfer of a solid with a weighing spoon
• Quantitative transfer of a solid with a finger held weighing bottle
• Quantitative transfer of a solid with a paper strap held bottle
• Quantitative transfer of a solid with a spatula
• Examples of common quantitative weighing errors
• Quantitative transfer of a solid from dish to beaker to volumetric flask
• Quantitative transfer of a solid from dish to volumetric flask
• Volumetric transfer pipet
• A complete acid-base titration
• Hand technique variations
