Although the laboratory exercises in ABLE proceedings volumes have been tested and due consideration has been given to safety, individuals performing these exercises must assume all responsibilities for risk. To cut down on time required for students to attend a traditional laboratory, we devised 54 activities that students could do in their homes. Compulsory lab activities are summarized in Table 1, optional activities in Table 2. Although there are problems, home labs can work. One must consider the subject matter, backgrounds of students, available technologies, safety factors, and cost.
