Nausheen W. Sadiq; Tabussom Qureshi – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2024
The scope of this preliminary study revolves around investigating the effectiveness of experiential learning in upper-year science laboratory courses in a post-pandemic era. In this study we have explored two key questions: 1. Can experiential learning facilitate independent inquiry in an upper-year undergraduate laboratory in a post-pandemic era?…

Peter Gimby; Wesley Ernst; Christopher Cully; Ania Harlick – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2024
The switch to online learning required a creative solution to allow for the experiential learning outcomes of the program to be satisfied when access to physical spaces and equipment was restricted. This paper describes a collaborative process between technical and support staff as well as research and teaching faculty that led to the creation of…

Dabrowski, Jennifer A.; McManamy, Mary E. Manson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
How do we engage students outside their major discipline? Recent curriculum changes have led to increases in nonlaboratory science course offerings for nonmajors to not only bolster science literacy but also demonstrate the relevance and impact of science on their everyday lives. At Elon University, we deliberately designed the course, Culinary…

Vahedi, Amid; Farnoud, Amir M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The increasing industrial and biomedical applications of nanomaterials have enhanced the need to educate a well-trained nanotechnology workforce. This need has led to efforts to introduce hands-on, nanotechnology-based, experimental modules into high school and college level courses in science and engineering. However, the majority of such efforts…

Mercer, Conan; Leech, Donal – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
This technology report outlines a robust and easy to assemble magnetic stirrer that is programmable. All of the parts are recycled from obsolete computer hardware except the Arduino microcontroller and motor driver, at a total cost of around $40. This multidisciplinary approach introduces microcontrollers to students and grants the opportunity to…

Labouta, Hagar Ibrahim; Kenny, Natasha A.; Li, Rui; Anikovskiy, Max; Reid, Leslie; Cramb, David Thomas – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
Research on understanding the full extent that an authentic science research experience engages students in how scientists think and act is sparse. 'Learning-science-by-doing-science' (LSDS) is an emerging self-guided process-learning model in postsecondary science education. It offers authentic science research opportunities that drive students…

Sattar, Simeen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
Tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) is the basis of a suite of four experiments spanning 5 weeks. Students determine the rate law, activation energy, and equilibrium constant for the dissociation of the complex ion in acid solution and base dissociation constant for phenanthroline. The focus on one chemical system simplifies a daunting set of…

Sims, Paul A.; O'Mealey, Gary B.; Khan, Nabeel A.; Larabee, Chelsea M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
A design for a simple and inexpensive gradient maker is described. The gradient maker is assembled by (i) cutting the tops off two plastic bottles of differing diameters to produce two cylinders with intact bottoms; (ii) drilling a small hole toward the bottom of the smaller diameter cylinder and plugging the hole with a size 00 cork stopper; and…

Touaibia, Mohamed; Guay, Michel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
Natural products play a critical role in modern organic synthesis and learning synthetic techniques is an important component of the organic laboratory experience. In addition to traditional one-step organic synthesis laboratories, a multistep natural product synthesis is an interesting experiment to challenge students. The proposed three-step…
