Chemistry A Guided Inquiry Part 1

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Classroom activities to support a General, Organic and Biological Chemistry text Students can follow a guided inquiry approach as they learn chemistry in the classroom. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry serves as an accompaniment to a GOB Chemistry text. It can suit the one- or two-semester course. This supplemental text supports Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL), which is a student-focused, group-learning philosophy of instruction. The materials offer ways to promote a student-centered science classroom with activities. The goal is for students to gain a greater understanding of chemistry through exploration.

In the newly updated 7th Edition, Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry continues to follow the underlying principles developed by years of extensive research on how students learn, and draws on testing by those using the POGIL methodology. This text follows the principles of inquiry-based learning and correspondingly emphasizes underlying chemistry concepts and the reasoning behind them. This text provides an approach that follows modern cognitive learning principles by having students learn how to create knowledge based on experimental data and how to test that knowledge.

The ChemActivities found in Introductory Chemistry:A Guided Inquiry use the classroom guided inquiry approach and provide an excellent accompaniment to any one semester Introductory text. Designed to support Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL), these materials provide a variety of ways to promote a student-focused, active classroom that range from cooperative learning to active student participation in a more traditional setting.

Add the power of guided inquiry to your course without giving up lecture with ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: A GUIDED INQUIRY FOR RECITATION, Volume I. Slim and affordable, the book covers key Organic 1 topics using POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning), a proven teaching method that increases learning in organic chemistry. Containing everything you need to energize your teaching assistants and students during supplemental sessions, the workbook includes once-a-week, student-friendly activities that are designed for supplemental sessions, but can also be used in lab, for homework, or as the basis for a hybrid POGIL-lecture approach.
