Foundations of Chemistry, 5th Edition
There are SO MANY updates in this new edition, including:
- Two new activities
- A full index and list of models
- Many new Exercises & Problems (for nearly all of the activities)
- The activity order in this edition has been changed to more closely suit most first-year general chemistry courses
- A companion website offering explanatory videos, links to reliable chemistry resources, and useful touches such as flash cards
Review for the 4th edition:
"Each activity is a stand-alone exercise that explores one major topic, and is designed to be used in a small-group setting in the POGIL manner. The activities use a structure that will be familiar to anyone that has used POGIL: first some information is presented in a model, which can come in a wide range of styles, from simple text or tables to diagrams and procedures. The model is followed by a set of “key questions” that can be answered by exploring the model. As Hanson says in his introduction: “These [key] questions guide the learner in discovering the relevant concepts and in developing an understanding of them.” After this exploration, students (in their small groups) go on to do simple “exercises” that allow them to apply their new knowledge and gain confidence. Many of the activities conclude with one or more “problems”; these are more complex and require the synthesis of ideas, transference of learning to new contexts, or more in-depth problem solving. ... In summary, I found Foundations of Chemistry—Applying POGIL Principles, 4th edition by David Hanson to be useful as an add-on supplement to guide POGIL activities in the general chemistry classroom."
