Students working in a science laboratory.

Title: Students working in a science laboratory.
Description: This image depicts students working in one of the Michigan State Normal School physical science laboratories. Due to the presence of vials, beakers, and other jars containing labeled liquids, the students are likely participating in a standard Chemistry class. Within this class, students gained experience with chemical manipulation and experimentation, while being instructed in the properties of carbon compounds. The Advanced Chemistry course also involved the use of the laboratory, but took “the form of individual practice in Chemical Analysis”.
