Abstract
The University of Kentucky used Vernier equipment to convert a didactically taught human respiration lab into a guided inquiry activity. The original version consisted of an extremely guided lab developed by Vernier that left little room for student experimentation. We redesigned this lab with the 5 E framework developed by Bybee et al. (2006), creating an inquiry based lab with emphasis on student led investigations. We will demonstrate both labs, identify key areas that were changed, and examine the effects of the new lab on student achievement and attitudes. Training on Vernier equipment will be provided.
