Thinking Through the Laboratory: An Organic Chemistry I Workbook: An Organic Chemistry I Workbook

Thinking Through the Laboratory: An Organic Chemistry I Workbook is a transformative tool that prompts students to predict, think, do and reflect during the course of a laboratory experience. This all-in-one workbook is an interactive hybrid of the traditional laboratory manual and laboratory notebook. Every aspect of this workbook is designed to encourage thinking before, during, and after performing an action.

Unique features of this workbook are:

• Experimental procedures that are image-driven as opposed to being presented in a written format.
• Procedural summaries that invite inquiry in the steps of the experiment.
• Journal pages entitled 'Lab in Action' that prompt the questions

What did you do? Describe the action. Why? What was the purpose of this action?

These pages replace the typical notebook pages.

• Integrate thought and prediction features entitled 'Some Assembly Required' to keep the student's minds engaged during the experiment.
• A 'Post Lab Round Up' feature that provides scaffolding for scientific writing, creating claims, and supporting claims with arguments.
