Abstract

This is a guided inquiry lab used in Science 100, an interdisciplinary lab-based science course for non-science majors at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Water provides the central theme of the course. Labs emphasize group collaboration, and the process of actually doing science. This particular exercise allows groups of students the opportunity to design and revise an experiment multiple times within a 90-minute block of time.
