Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Part 1

In the newly updated 8th Edition, Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry continues to follow the evidence-based principles of inquiry learning, emphasizing the development of underlying chemistry concepts through analysis and interpretation of information. Part I includes activities that address most of the topics typically addressed in a first semester general chemistry course including atomic and molecular structure, states of matter, thermochemistry, and stoichiometry.

Kendall Hunt is excited to partner with The POGIL Project to publish materials in a variety of disciplines that are designed for use in active learning, student-centered classrooms.

POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. Because POGIL is a student-centered instructional approach, in a typical POGIL classroom or laboratory, students work in small teams with the instructor acting as a facilitator. The student teams use specially designed activities that generally follow a learning cycle paradigm. These activities are designed to have three key characteristics:

• They are designed for use with self-managed teams that employ the instructor as a facilitator of learning rather than a source of information.
• They guide students through an exploration to construct understanding.
• They use discipline content to facilitate the development of important process skills, including higher-level thinking and the ability to learn and to apply knowledge in new contexts.
