Wednesday, December 18  •  POGIL Labs  •  7 PM Eastern  •  $20

Verification or “cookbook” activities have been shown to be ineffective for achieving student outcomes in the lab.  Inquiry-based labs better parallel the scientific method, which helps students to learn science by doing science.

Facilitators Brandon Fetterly (University of Wisconsin-Platteville), Sally Hunnicutt (Virginia Commonwealth University), and Tim Herzog (Weber State University) will guide participants through the process of converting a cookbook lab to one that has greater inquiry.

Registration for this event is limited to 36 people.  Registrants will be sent a Zoom meeting link 2 days prior to the webinar.  Please note that the session begins at 7 PM Eastern Time (6 PM Central/5 PM Mountain/4 PM Pacific).  The session is scheduled for 75 minutes.
