Muammer Çalik; Neslhan Ültay; Hasan Bag; Alipasa Ayas – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
The purpose of this study is to "meta"-analytically evaluate research that used chemical bonding-based interventions to improve academic performance. Through "meta"-analysis, the present study used several keyword patterns (e.g., chemical bonding, experimental, chemistry education, science education) via relevant databases…

Mahaveer Genwa; Jyoti Singh; Alka Rani; Kushagra Yadav; Chetna Angrish – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Photochemical reactions are initiated by the absorption of light, triggering the chemical reactions and resulting in the formation of products. These reactions are generally performed using a freely available renewable source of energy-solar energy. Solar simulators mimic both the ultraviolet and visible regions of sunlight and hence can serve as…

Thomas S. Kuntzleman – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An activity is described that uses simple materials and an easy-to-perform protocol to estimate the Curie temperature of nickel, which is the temperature at which nickel loses its ferromagnetism. To do so, an object made of nickel metal is heated with a lighter until it loses its ferromagnetism. The metal is allowed to drop into a beaker that…

Anne de Poulpiquet; Neso Sojic; Laurent Bouffier; Alexander Kuhn; Dodzi Zigah – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Electrochemistry is taught in most undergraduate chemistry programs. Although this topic is important for students due to its broad interest in industry (energy, diagnostics, car industry, etc.), they often find it difficult, because it is based on a combination of various physical concepts such as electric fields, interfacial processes or charge…

Anindita Paul; Anirban Dutta; Aditi Kundu; Supradip Saha – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A procedure to purify anthocyanin, a natural pigment, following a green approach by using macroporous resin and its encapsulation for the maintenance of its stability is described. This laboratory experiment, which describes the benefits of using resin for the purification, is a learning tool for students working in the field on nutraceuticals.…

Thomas H. Linz; Mario A. Cornejo; Courtney E. Cunningham; Hao T. Mai; Shakila H. Peli Thanthri – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
A collection of four activities for science outreach events was developed to teach middle school students about the temperature dependence of scientific phenomena. Procedures are described for four interactive demonstrations on phase changes, fluorescence, viscosity effects on diffusion, and conductivity. Each hands-on activity helps students…

Mahsa Parvizian; Julia Bechter; Jan Huber; Noura Chettata; Jonathan De Roo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Quantum dots are colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals that display size-dependent electronic and optical properties. These materials are a visual demonstration of a quantum-mechanical effect. Here we present a laboratory exercise for undergraduate/Bachelor students as an introduction to colloidal nanocrystals and quantum dots. The students…

A. M. Ranjika P. Bopegedera – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Calorimetry is a central concept in the first semester general chemistry curriculum, and constant pressure (coffee-cup) calorimetry is a common experiment in the laboratory. However, constant volume (bomb) calorimetry is traditionally reserved for the physical chemistry laboratory. This article describes the advantages of incorporating bomb…

Giancaspro, Joseph; Scollan, Patrick; Rosario, Juan; Miller, Elizabeth; Braziel, Samuel; Lee, Sunghee – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
In an upper-division interdisciplinary laboratory experiment, students use Raman spectroscopy to highlight how the overall structure and conformational order of lipid bilayers can be influenced by their individual phospholipid composition. Students prepare a supported lipid bilayer, as a model cell membrane, by spreading liposomes made of various…

Sedunov, Boris – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
Thermodynamics education is not easy both for students and teachers. But the Entropy, Chemical potential, Real gas structure, Fugacity, Molecular interaction, Supercritical phenomena chapters become more comprehensible, if introduced via the pure real gases' cluster physics chapter. A pure gas consists of the only one type of basic particles,…

Tadesse Hunegnaw; Tesfaye Demisse Hailegebreal; Dawit Asrat Getahun; Minaleshewa Atlabachew – European Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Even though physical experiments are mandatory in science education, there has been an increasing demand for virtual experiments. This research aimed to investigate the impact of virtual experiments compared to physical experiments on students' conceptual understanding of chemical kinetics concepts. To achieve this, a two-phase explanatory…

Maksim Dolmat; Veronika Kozlovskaya; Eugenia Kharlampieva – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The essential component of expanding an undergraduate curriculum is the inclusion of lab experiments in nanoscience and nanomaterials, which significantly impact health and the environment through their use in food, cosmetics, agriculture, and medicine. We designed a laboratory experiment based on the atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of the…

Lynn E. Krushinski; Thomas B. Clarke; Jeffrey E. Dick – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Electrochemistry plays a crucial role in our everyday lives. It allows us to power our phones and cars and allows for the real-time monitoring of blood glucose levels. While electrochemistry is of vital importance and is a long-established field of chemistry, it is often neglected in modern curricula for STEM courses. Herein, we show that hands-on…

Isoenzymes are variant forms of the same enzyme activity that exhibits different tissue distribution. When cells are damaged, intracellular content leaks into the blood stream, making them potential biochemical markers. Undergraduate health sciences students are expected to interpret laboratory findings of serum levels of biochemical markers and…

Armaghan Shafaei; Hayley Abbiss; Sophie Coutts; Mark Bannister; Janine Bruemmer; Mary C. Boyce – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A student experiment that uses QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) methodology for extraction and HPLC for quantitative determination of tocopherols from seeds and nuts is described here. Chromatographic separation is achieved by using a pentafluorophenyl stationary phase which gives enhanced separation of the tocopherols…
