Daniel F. McCain; Evelyn K. McCain – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The following activity was developed to allow students to actively participate in and measure the kinetics of a multistep process. Each group of students is given a stack of blank coloring pages, each with a rainbow design printed on it. Each student in a group is given a different color crayon and colors in their portion of the picture before…

Electrochemistry Under Microscope: Observing the Diffusion Layer and Measuring Diffusion Coefficient
Lida Khalafi; Nastaran Nikzad; Asayiel Alhajeri; Brandon Bacon; Karla Alvarado; Mohammad Rafiee – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The area near the electrode surface is called the diffusion layer, and to understand electrochemistry, it is crucial that students have a knowledge of the phenomena occurring at the diffusion layer. Here, we present a demonstration and activity to visualize and analyze the expansion of a micrometer-sized diffusion layer. The electrode process…

Slade Goldman; Katie A. Coscia; Lauren A. Genova – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Electron configuration provides insight into the chemical behaviors of elements and is an important concept for students to master in introductory chemistry. To better strengthen undergraduate students' mastery of electron configurations of atoms and ions, we designed a novel, interactive chemistry game called ChemisTree that uses active-learning…

Kenneth Drake; Steven Rooney – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
We present our work on a hybridized undergraduate research model that blends the apprenticeship model with that of a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) to produce the course apprenticeship-based model (CAB). The purpose of CAB was to incentivize students' interest in undergraduate research at an urban associate granting…

This publication presents a series of experiments in the field of nanomedicine for high school chemistry education and student laboratories, developed as a collaborative project between chemistry didactics and chemical research. In this context, polymeric nanocarriers represent a promising approach for drug delivery, acting as "smart…

Worakan Chutakool; Thanit Praneenararat – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In the past few decades, chemistry has evolved to interact with various disciplines to synergistically help tackle global challenges. This, in turn, requires that newer generations of chemistry students are trained to be more flexible in accepting and coordinating new concepts. In this experiment, pineapple was used as a key model to allow for the…

Sara E. Johnson; Taylor A. Bell; Joseph K. West – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As an alternative to the traditional metallocene laboratory targets, students synthesize Cp[subscript 2]TiCl[subscript 2], bis([eta][superscript 5]-cyclopentadienyl)dichloridotitanium(IV), from the mildly moisture-sensitive cis-TiCl[subscript 4](thf)[subscript 2]. Air-free handling techniques are emphasized, but the (mostly) air-stable,…

Seamus Delaney; Andras Fehervari; Vaughan Moon; Madeleine Schultz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As the most widely used manufactured material on the planet, concrete provides an excellent and underused context for chemistry practical activities. Although concrete's importance as a building material cannot be overstated, the traditional preparation of concrete is associated with enormous greenhouse gas emissions as well as unsustainable use…

Timothy R. Johnson; Tyler A. Shaffer; Lisa A. Holland; Lindsay M. Veltri; John A. Lucas; Yousef S. Elshamy; Patrick K. Rutto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A laboratory activity was developed to teach freezing point depression and colligative properties to introductory-level chemistry students. The laboratory uses food-grade reagents and is delivered in two units that can be taught in a single 2 hour session or two separate sessions. The total cost of the consumables is 1 USD. In the first part of…

Sherry, Cathy – Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education, 2022
Food gardens are an underdeveloped resource for teaching and research in Australian universities. While some campuses have food or botanical gardens, outside the biological or physical sciences food growing is not routinely incorporated into mainstream curricula. This article investigates why and how we might change this. It examines universities'…

Joseph K. West; Der Vang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A straightforward procedure for the synthesis of (Ph[subscript 3]P)[subscript 3]CuCF[subscript 3], a robust, air-stable trifluoromethylating agent, is reported herein. This preparation can be completed in a single 3 h laboratory session and typically provides ample yields (~79--86%) and high purity (>90%). The target complex is characterized by…

Ondr?ej Socha; Zuzana Osifova´; Martin Drac?i´nsky´ – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very powerful analytical method that has found many applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. It is an indispensable tool particularly for synthetic chemists because it can be used for a rapid elucidation of the structures of organic compounds. For this reason, NMR spectral…

Lesley G. Campbell; Benjamin R. Montgomery; Megan R. King; Jonathan Hall; Lena Struwe – American Biology Teacher, 2025
Exposure to nature can improve mental health and cognitive abilities, while creating enhanced engagement with biological course material through interactions with organisms and ecosystems. Remote biology education was suddenly implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic at many universities, and such distance education continues to provide broadened…

Borrows, Peter – School Science Review, 2019
Many teachers do not notice, or do not understand, the chemistry going on in and around their homes and hence do not point it out to their students. Thus they miss out on an important motivating experience. This article gives a few random examples, most of them well within the understanding of students at key stages 3 and 4 (age 11-16). From…
