Converting Your Lab from Verification to Inquiry

by: Donald P. French and Connie P. Russell

This chapter offers insight into how to create laboratories that provide students with research experiences within the constraints of time, resources, and course formats that most faculty face. It provides a research-based rationale for investigative or inquiry-based labs; an example of their implementation in a large-enrollment, introductory course for mixed majors; and recommendations for converting labs.
