Designing a POGIL-based Bioanalytical Laboratory: Conceptual Continuity with the General Chem Lab

Maryann McDermott Jones and Jane Klassen. University of Maryland, College Park, MD

In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Maryland began the roll-out of a new 4-semester introductory chemistry course sequence: a single semester of General Chemistry topics through the basics of equilibrium and acid-base chemistry; followed by two semesters of Organic Chemistry; ending with equilibrium, acid-base, redox and kinetics studies explored in the context of a bio-analytical laboratory program. We will describe individual lab exercises in this POGIL-based course, emphasizing how the concept-driven Team Discussion questions in the POGIL General Chemistry lab are revisited and reinforced in the structure of the bio-analytical experiments.
