I will discuss the development of an experiment for the physical chemistry laboratory. The experiment was developed in the Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) Physical Chemistry Lab framework. Students work through multiple learning cycles to examine and understand different aspects of the relationship between symmetry and spectroscopy. Techniques include infrared and Raman spectroscopies and computational chemistry. I will discuss implementation options, including multiple options for covering group theory within the experiment.
