Nichole Orench-Rivera; April Bednarski; Paul Craig; Austin Talbot – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2025
Advancements in computation and machine learning have revolutionized science, enabling researchers to address once insurmountable challenges. Bioinformatics, a field that heavily relies on computer-driven analysis of biological data, has greatly benefited from these developments. However, traditional bioinformatics instruction frequently lacks the…

David L. Myers; Marc Hill; Brooke Baughman; Eugene T. Smith – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This exercise encompassed the construction and use of a microcontroller-based laser refractometer. The instrument, which does not require a high skill level to build, primarily consisted of a line laser, optical sensor, several 3-D printed parts and printed circuit boards, and a microcontroller development board. Construction and testing of the…

Navarre, Edward C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A simple computer interface for controlling a compact spectrograph for use as a spectrophotometer in an undergraduate teaching laboratory was developed. The project was implemented on a Raspberry Pi computer which permits the integration of a light source into the software. The interface was written in Python to facilitate modification by the user…

Li, Yuguang C.; Melenbrink, Elizabeth L.; Cordonier, Guy J.; Boggs, Christopher; Khan, Anupama; Isaac, Morko Kwembur; Nkhonjera, Lameck Kabambalika; Bahati, David; Billinge, Simon J.; Haile, Sossina M.; Kreuter, Rodney A.; Crable, Robert M.; Mallouk, Thomas E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
This paper presents a teaching kit that combines the fabrication of a low-cost microcontroller-based potentiostat and a LabVIEW-generated graphical user interface. The potentiostat enables undergraduate-level students to learn electroanalytical techniques and characterize energy conversion devices such as solar cells. The purpose of this teaching…

Hui, Kaleonui J.; Coney, John P.; Binder, P.-M. – Physics Teacher, 2016
In PASCO's Technical Article #763, it is stated that "PASCO [also] makes sensors with an 8-pin DIN connector. These sensors cannot be used with the Vernier interfaces, as they have different power requirements." Recently we had the need to make such connections in a 10-station freshman lab. Since the Vernier input is a 6-way BT 631A plug…

Jagodzinski, Piotr; Wolski, Robert – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2015
Natural User Interfaces (NUI) are now widely used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and gaming consoles. We have tried to apply this technology in the teaching of chemistry in middle school and high school. A virtual chemical laboratory was developed in which students can simulate the performance of laboratory activities similar…

Carvalho-Knighton, Kathleen M.; Smoak, Joseph M. – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate if integrating basic analytical methods and computer interface technology would result in a positive change in student attitude. Students' self-concept of science knowledge and skills (Capability), opinion towards science (Affect), and perceptions of the value of science (Value) were determined with…
