Experiments In The Classroom: Examples Of Inductive Learning With Classroom Friendly Laboratory Kits

Abstract

The educational literature is full of examples of the effectiveness of inductive and hands on learning. Laboratory experiments are clearly an excellent place to encourage this type of learning. However, it would be beneficial to mix laboratory material with classroom presentations and problem solving in a more flexible approach than a traditional separate laboratory and lecture allows. We have recently been developing some laboratory kits, designed to be used in a standard classroom.
