Scaletti, Carla; Rickard, Meredith M.; Hebel, Kurt J.; Pogorelov, Taras V.; Taylor, Stephen A.; Gruebele, Martin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The protein folding reaction is one of the most important chemical reactions in the human body. Yet, despite its importance, it is sometimes omitted from undergraduate courses due to the challenging nature of some of the underlying concepts. To help make key concepts of the protein folding reaction accessible to our undergraduate students, we…

Vidak, Andrej; Šapic, Iva Movre; Hadžimehmedovic, Mirza – Physics Teacher, 2022
In the past decade, we have witnessed the emergence of a large number of different computer-based animations and simulations that have the goal to foster better learning of different physics topics. Past studies have shown many benefits of animations and simulations, but for their efficient usage it is very important that teachers are well…

Simon C. Cork; Emma Yhnell – Discover Education, 2024
The educational benefit of the traditional didactic lecture to learners in Higher Education is hotly debated. Given increasing student numbers, existing technical set ups and many logistical concerns, lectures remain the norm in many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). In this personal view piece, we discuss the benefits, opportunities, and…

Mohottala, H. E.; Higgins, Brent – Physics Education, 2022
The use of animations, simulations, and remote lab experiments has taken a new turn during the pandemic. When teaching introductory-level physics courses, the simulations and animations play an important role. Carefully designed simulations assist students visualize real-life situations and help understand complex physics concepts behind them.…

Lee, Rebecca K. Y.; Ng, Bernard Y. N.; Chen, Daisy M. H. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Students always encounter difficulties in studying biochemical pathways. They are especially weak in understanding the relationships between metabolic pathways and their integration because these pathways are always taught one-by-one in class. In the past, various online resources have been developed to facilitate students' understanding toward…

Aristov, Michael M.; Moore, John W.; Berry, John F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Through the implementation of the free website/smartphone application Sketchfab, we have found a simple means to introduce 3D visual tools into the chemistry classroom. Sketchfab stores 3D models and animations with free cross-platform accessibility. Blender is a free 3D modeling tool that has been used to prepare models and animations for…

Yaseen, Zeynep; Aubusson, Peter – Research in Science Education, 2020
This article describes an investigation into teaching and learning with student-generated animations combined with a representational pedagogy. In particular, it reports on interactive discussions that were stimulated by the students' own animations as well as their critiques of experts' animations. Animations representing views of states of…

Hansen, Alexandria; Gribble, Jim; Moran, Amber; Hansen, Eric; Harlow, Danielle – Science and Children, 2021
In an increasingly digital world, the elementary school students of today who learn to program will be positioned to re-imagine and build the future. As educators, it is essential to consider how such an important skill is made accessible for a diverse range of students, including those diagnosed with learning disabilities. In this article, the…

Di Vincenzo, Antonella; Floriano, Michele A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
An application for visualizing the aggregation of structureless atoms is presented. The application allows us to demonstrate on a qualitative basis, as well as by quantitatively monitoring the aggregate surface/volume ratio, that the enhanced reactivity of nanoparticles can be connected with their large specific surface. It is suggested that,…

Florjanczyk, Ursula; Ng, Derek P.; Andreopoulos, Stavroula; Jenkinson, Jodie – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
The mathematical models that describe enzyme kinetics are invaluable predictive tools in numerous scientific fields. However, the daunting mathematical language used to describe kinetic behavior can be confusing for life science students; they often struggle to conceptualize and relate the mathematical representations to the molecular phenomena…

Wilson, Kristy J.; Long, Tammy M.; Momsen, Jennifer L.; Speth, Elena Bray – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
As an instructional tool, models can transform the student experience from the static to the dynamic, the flat to the 3D, and the siloed to the integrated. Few practical resources exist to help instructors transition toward model-based classroom practices. The "Modeling in the Classroom" evidence-based teaching guide provides instructors…

Seibert, Johann; Kay, Christopher W. M.; Huwer, Johannes – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Given that students are constantly communicating and documenting special experiences in their social and private lives with digital devices, we suggest that this behavior could be used to record and deepen learning experiences-such as visualizing reactions at the molecular level-in a chemistry class. An example would be the creation of stop-motion…

Rand, Danielle; Yennie, Craig J.; Lynch, Patrick; Lowry, Gregory; Budarz, James; Zhu, Wenlei; Wang, Li-Qiong – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Here we describe an acid rain neutralization laboratory experiment and its corresponding instructional video. This experiment has been developed and implemented for use in the teaching laboratory of a large introductory chemistry course at Brown University. It provides a contextually relevant example to introduce beginner-level students with…

Atkins, Leslie J.; Erstad, Craig; Gudeman, Paul; McGowan, Jacob; Mulhern, Kristin; Prader, Kaitlyn; Rodriguez, Gregoria; Showaker, Amy; Timmons, Adam – Physics Teacher, 2014
Energy is a topic that is often treated as an accounting process-a number that students are asked to calculate, but that is not particularly meaningful in itself. When we try to ascribe meaning to this number ("an ability to do work," for example), we are met with caveats and hedges. As Feynman notes when lecturing on the conservation of…

We present a new teaching and outreach activity based around the construction of a three-dimensional chart of isotopes using LEGO® bricks. The activity, "binding blocks", demonstrates nuclear and astrophysical processes through a seven-meter chart of all nuclear isotopes, built from over 26000 LEGO® bricks. It integrates A-Level and GCSE…
