purpose of this laboratory exercise is to introduce students to the use andapplication of the EVOP method. Use of sodium hydroxide solutions to scrub CO2 emissions isnot the most favored industrial method. Aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide or amines,in conjunction with arsenite catalyst are usually more desirable from an economic standpoint[7]. However, sodium hydroxide solutions were selected for this exercise due to their readyavailability in educational laboratories.EVOP Method. Since the introduction of EVOP in the late 1950's, many books and journalarticles have been published that discuss use of the method. This article is not intended as asurvey review of EVOP.

Our hope wasthat we could learn enough about the reform process by collaborating on a single course that wecould each take the lead on another course the next semester.We reviewed the work of several researchers in physics education including
