Bertram Schmidkonz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Simple, often artificial problems are normally preferred for introductory lab courses and are restricted to indoor participation. Microtitrations make it possible to leave the lab and study water chemistry directly in the natural environment. An exemplary outdoor challenge is presented here: travertine formation is context-rich, has to be examined…

Hill, David J.; Williams, Olivia F.; Mizzy, Danianne P.; Triumph, Therese F.; Brennan, Catherine R.; Mason, Dawn C.; Lawrence, David S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A laboratory-safety course has been developed that is designed to introduce first-year graduate students to the array of dangers associated with research in the chemical sciences. We describe the challenges of creating an impactful course that seeks to convey practical laboratory-safety information in a classroom setting for students with a…

Tsaparlis, Georgios; Gorezi, Marianna – Journal of Chemical Education, 2007
Students should enjoy their laboratory classes and for this purpose a project-based activity is added to a conventional physical chemistry laboratory. Students were given project work instead of conventional experiment and then they had to make progress in the project according to instructions and then carry out experiments related to the project.
