DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nLaboratory courses introduce students to the disci
 pline’s tools\, concepts\, and ways of thinking through experimentation. T
 here has been a recent shift away from the traditional expository or recip
 e-based experiments toward inquiry-\, discovery-\, or problem-based experi
 ments. Similarly\, over the last five years\, we have completely re-hauled
  our first-semester undergraduate laboratory course to be more inquiry-dri
 ven\, informed by the meaningful learning framework\, wherein new concepts
  deliberately build on previously learned concepts to help students connec
 t the new information with their previous knowledge. To adapt meaningful l
 earning for a laboratory context\, we introduced the “learn\, practice\, a
 pply” approach\, wherein students first learn a concept or technique\, the
 n practice that technique in a different context\, and then apply the tech
 nique in an organic reaction. This talk will discuss how we applied this a
 pproach to teach thin-layer chromatography\, liquid-liquid extractions\, a
 nd green chemistry\, each through three\, 3-week long modules. Last\, we w
 ill discuss our assessment metrics\, including how this new course impacte
 d student learning and student confidence in the lab.\n\nBio:\n\nProf. Ann
 e McNeil is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Chemistry and Macromolecula
 r Science and Engineering\, as well as an HHMI Professor\, at the Universi
 ty of Michigan. Her research spans organometallic catalysis\, redox active
  small molecules\, sustainable and degradable polymers. She has won numero
 us awards for excellence in both teaching and research. Her most recent aw
 ards are being inducted as a Fellow into the AAAS and a Guggenheim Fellows
 hip.\n
