Edited by Michael Garoutte, this group of POGIL activities is the result of a collaborative project whose primary goal was to create guided inquiry laboratory experiences with relevant connections between the experiments and broader topics of student interest. Eleven faculty, experienced in using guided inquiry in class, lab, or both, and representing a wide range of institutions, developed and tested the activities with their classes.
