The use of models to build student understanding distinguishes a classroom utilizing POGIL from traditional classrooms.  In current published activities, models are presented to students through written material or printed figures.  In order to better link lab and lecture content, the observations gained in an exploratory laboratory experiment utilizing the Science Writing Heuristic are used to build the model for a POGIL classroom activity in the following session.  This methodology will be shown using observations from a qualitative analysis experiment to build a model for an activity on double replacement reactions.
