| Using context-rich materials to provide motivation and relevance to introductory chemistry has gained much ground recently with the publication of textbooks (1) that introduce the principles of chemistry through multidisciplinary themes that cross the traditional boundaries separating the sciences and separating science from technology. We have a developed and evaluated a series of process-oriented guided inquiry learning modules based on such themes. The modules are linked to more traditional general chemistry models developed by Hanson (2) and make use of in-class group workshops and homework.
