In a survey of almost 600 high school chemistry teachers, it was found that almost half of them did not use inquiry in their classroom. For the survey, inquiry was defined as any lab in which students write the procedure themselves--the question/purpose/problem could be of the students' own design or provided for them. Many teachers indicated that although they understand the theory behind inquiry, they lack the concrete understanding and practice needed to implement the technique. The activities described in this paper demonstrate that a traditional lab can easily be converted to inquiry even considering issues such as time constraints, safety concerns, and grading. Hopefully, with this quick-start guide to starting inquiry, a discussion of how to alleviate possible drawbacks, and 23 examples of chemistry inquiry labs, the percentages of chemistry teachers utilizing inquiry will increase.
