The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools
