American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Inverted Approach to Teach InversionAbstractInversion is one of the most important weather phenomena that determines air quality and istypically covered in courses concerning air pollution. Anecdotal evidence indicates that followingtextbook readings and lectures, students generally express misconceptions about this topic. Addingactive learning to the classroom has been advocated amongst the best practices for highereducation, with physical in-class demonstrations being especially effective for engineeringeducation. The study explores the impact of adding a laboratory demonstration, centered oncreating an artificial inversion layer (with dry ice, smoke bombs, and bubble

The experimental setup is typically fully laid out by laboratory technologists orgraduate teaching assistants and analytical equipment is checked, troubleshoot and calibratedwith little or no input from the undergraduate students. In most cases such an approach toundergraduate laboratory experiments is driven by the need to move a large number of studentsthrough a lab with limited resources and within a prescribed time period.
