POGIL-PCL (POGIL for the Physical Chemistry Laboratory) represents a community of over 130 physical chemistry lab course instructors involved in the development and implementation of experiments for this course. POGIL-PCL also comprises a set of experiments developed using POGIL principles that emphasize modeling of both macroscopic and microscopic chemical phenomena, student design and refinement of experimental protocols, and data pooling to assist in uncovering physical chemistry principles. We present here a summary of these experiments, both complete and undergoing testing, including a discussion of how they might be used in the laboratory course. We also summarize our implementation of a workshop model that creates and supports a community of experiment authors and adopters. The planning and delivery of these workshops include efforts to target current graduate students and postdocs who are the next generation of chemistry faculty. Our current work also includes two research initiatives: probing student learning outcomes in this upper-level laboratory-based course and uncovering the key features that both grow and sustain the POGIL-PCL community.
