This sounds like a question proposed by a chemistry education professor. I'm a high school chemistry teacher (16 years) and unsure why we push constructivism in chemistry labs. It seems unsafe to have kids design labs. Liability is much greater for the school. Well written labs will develop the skills students need to construct knowlege and attain understanding. Class discussion and post-lab analysis are wonderful opportunities for the student to use constructivism. Proponents of constructivism generally cover far less content than a more traditional approach to teaching chemistry. Very few topics in chemistry do students come to class knowing. Therefore they have little knowledge base to build upon. For these reasons, I will continue to be more traditional and resist constructivism as the only tool to teach chemistry.

You can keep a chemistry lab notebook by writing down the steps to performing your experiments. You may also want to write down your experiences with the experiments before and after.
