An S _N1-S _N2 lesson in an organic chemistry lab using a studio-based approach

摘要

A novel S _N1-S _N2 studio-based lab module that incorporates inquiry-based learning was designed and implemented. The studio module was taught in a newly renovated lab space designed with an integrated classroom. The students were divided into two groups for the lesson with one group conducting a studio-module lab and the second group running the experiments in an expository lab format. The performance of each group is compared.
