Schmidt, Jonas; Huber, Tim; Mu¨ssig, Jo¨rg – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The knowledge of the mechanical properties of polymers and other materials is essential for several tasks in the field of materials science, like component design and material development. The tensile test is one method of determining many of the material's most defining mechanical characteristics. However, the teaching of laboratory experiments…

Yifan Li; Anmin Liu; Runming Si; Leyan Liu; Qidong Zhao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The plate and frame filtration experiment is one of the essential experiments performed by undergraduate students during their practical education. While this experiment often relies on the conventional manual recording of data and calculation, there are frequent problems with data collection because capturing transient data of filtrate volume and…

Shakur, Asif; Binz, Steven – Physics Teacher, 2021
The use of smartphones in experimental physics is by now widely accepted and documented. PASCO scientific's Smart Cart, in combination with student-owned smartphones and free apps, has opened a new universe of low-cost experiments that have traditionally required cumbersome and expensive equipment. In this paper, we demonstrate the simplicity,…

Priya Yadav; Harshita Laddha; Madhu Agarwal; Ragini Gupta – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A smartphone-based digital imaging method has been successfully introduced in an undergraduate laboratory class to quantify fluoride ions in water. Students first synthesized the chemosensor (E)-2-(1-(6-nitro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethylidene)-N-phenylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide (CT) via an eco-friendly and green microwave-assisted protocol and…

Carreño, María José; Castro-Alonso, Juan C.; Gallardo, María José – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Currently, the physics disciplines are represented by a significantly larger number of professional males, compared to females. Although the problem of underrepresentation of female physicists has several causes, one likely reason is the lower interest that female school students have in physics activities. Several instructional solutions have…

Eileen Johnson; Jeanne Sanders; Karin Jensen – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2023
Online course delivery has increased in prevalence, particularly due to the onset in 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic. Biomedical engineering laboratory courses pose unique challenges when transitioning to a remote or hybrid space. Here, we describe a novel approach to online lab delivery to improve student learning and engagement in a required…
