Foundations of Biochemistry takes advantage of the proven results of process-oriented guided-inquiry learning, and is authored by educators who have tremendous practical experience not only within their fields but also in using POGIL within their classrooms.

Exemplifying many of the best practices in science education, students are encouraged to explore the synergy of working, learning, and thinking together in groups, even as they apply textbook knowledge to real-world situations and begin to explore current biochemistry scholarship and research available online.

There is also an Instructor’s Resources web site that includes keys to the Pre-Activity Assignments, the In-Class Activities, and the Post-Activity Skill Exercises. The addition of Report Forms, Data Sheets, and Facilitation Plans gives you all the help you need to begin using this exciting book.

This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0717392. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
