In addition, the paper willdescribe various activities the author has collected which can be used to increase lecture and labinvolvement in the lecture and laboratory material without costing excessive classroom time. Thepaper should be especially of interest to new educators and instructors looking for ways to beginintroducing interesting and useful techniques into their lectures. This will not be an exhaustive
