If you're looking for an alternative to the traditional lab lecture format in general chemistry, look no further than Dave Hanson's Foundations of Chemistry, an activities book for general chemistry. These 66 activities, enough to easily cover a two-semester general chemistry course, will actively engage your students in process-oriented guided-inquiry learning (POGIL) and assist them in becoming better critical thinkers and problem-solvers. Foundations of Chemistry, 4th Edition, is also the most reasonably priced activity book for general chemistry on the market today.
