Learning follows the scientific process as much as possible throughout. Students are often asked to construct a concept based on the model that has been developed up to that point, and then further data or information is provided to help refine the concept. In this way, students simultaneously learn course content and key process skills that constitute mathematical and scientific thought and exploration.  If you are interested in having instructor resources please reach out to Danielle Schlichtmann ( ).   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  For more information, please visit
