These guided activities were written because much research has shown that more learning takes place when the student is actively engaged and when ideas and concepts are developed by the student, rather than being presented by an authority - a textbook or an instructor. The activities presented are structured so that information is presented to the reader in some form (and equation, table, graph, figure, written prose, etc.) followed by a series of Construct-Your-Understanding Questions that lead the student to the development of a particular…

Students learn when they are activity engaged and thinking in class. The activities in this book are the primary classroom materials for teaching Calculus 1, using the POGIL method. Each activity leads students to discovery of the key concepts by having them analyze data and make inferences.  The result is an "I can do this" attitude, increased retention, and a feeling of ownership over the material.

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…

Biochemistry: A Guided Inquiry uses the philosophy of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) to teach the fundamental concepts of biochemistry. In these activities, students will work in teams to explore models of biochemical information and develop essential ideas so they can more fully understand the discipline. In addition, they will intentionally practice process skills including teamwork, information processing, critical thinking, and communication. The topics in this book cover the major themes of biomolecules, metabolism, and the replication…

Topics addressed in this collection of 22 POGIL activities for Environmental and Earth Science address important concepts related to the biosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, the geosphere, and the anthroposphere. Besides the careful structuring of guided inquiry questions that allow students to construct their own understanding, each activity intentionally builds student fluency in one or two of the process skills of communication, teamwork, management, information processing, critical thinking, problem solving or metacognition/assessment.

This activity is written for upper-level biology courses and aims to acquaint students with the function of transcription factors, especially in determining the fate of cells. Students who complete this activity will explain and illustrate how cells with the same DNA produce different proteins and predict gene activity based on relevant gene regulation factors. Process skill: forming an argument or reaching a conclusion supported with evidence.
