Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is a method of instruction where each student takes an active role in the classroom. The activities contained in this collection are specially designed guided inquiry activities intended for the student to complete during class while working with a small group of peers. Each activity introduces essential organic chemistry content in a model that contains examples, experimental data, reactions, or other important information. Each activity is followed by a series of questions designed to lead the student through the thought processes that…
Quantum Chemistry & Spectroscopy: A Guided Inquiry was developed to facilitate more student-centered classroom instruction of physical chemistry using Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL). The activities guide students through a wide variety of topics found in a typical undergraduate quantum physical chemistry course. The text introduces quantum phenomena, presents the postulates of quantum mechanics, and then applies these postulates to model problems of increasing sophistication – the particle-on-a-line (in one and two dimensions), the harmonic…
The Chem Activities found in Introductory Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry use the classroom guided inquiry approach and provide an excellent accompaniment to any one semester Introductory text.

The book is aligned with the Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College Chemistry 135 lab course.
The laboratory techniques learned in Chemistry 221 are used to carry out reactions in aromatic substitution, organometallic chemistry, oxidation and reduction chemistry, esterification, and aldol condensations. A significant portion of the semester is devoted to determining the structure of unknown organic compounds, both theoretically in the spectroscopy section and practically in the separation and identification of an unknown compound, as well as verifying the identification of compounds synthesized in a lab. Success in the lab requires careful preparation—you must read…
The application of experimental techniques for solving chemical problems is essential for a full appreciation of chemistry and for science in general. Success in the lab requires careful preparation—you must read the experiment and complete each pre-lab assignment prior to coming to the lab. Your grade will be based on your performance in the lab, written reports, and your understanding of the chemical principles involved in the experiments.
The objectives of the laboratory sessions will provide the learners experience to:
- work safely and comfortably in the lab…
The study of organic chemistry can often strike fear and trepidation into the hearts and minds of students who are required to take this course of study in college. Having taught the topic in various institutions of higher education for over 25 years, Dr. Ternansky has developed a learning method that serves to simplify and unify the seemingly disparate behaviors of organic molecules. The method, dubbed the UDED method, has helped countless students to not only understand organic chemistry but to actually enjoy it! Indeed, several of Dr. Ternansky's former students changed their majors to…
This course pack is designed for students of a General Chemistry 1 course.
