Lab components of undergraduate science courses typically have students complete highly directed cookbook-like laboratory activities. These experiences rarely engage students in a meaningful manner and do not accurately convey what the work of science entails. With funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), we have created more…

Boose, David L. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2014
Quantitative reasoning is a key intellectual skill, applicable across disciplines and best taught in the context of authentic, relevant problems. Here, I describe and assess a laboratory exercise that has students calculate their "carbon footprint" and evaluate the impacts of various behavior choices on that footprint. Students gather…

Powers, Jack W.; Scamehorn, Richard G. – J Chem Educ, 1970
Describes a college program designed to upgrade the laboratory experience of selected high school chemistry teachers. Small groups of teachers work with college faculty on chemistry problems each weekend. Problems investigated include the use of pH meters, X-ray diffraction, computers, and experiments in chromatography, spectroscopy radiochemistry…

Peer reviewedBeun, J. A. – American Journal of Physics, 1971
The objectives and methods of a free undergraduate laboratory are set forth. The main features are a close connection between the students and the research groups, a large amount of student freedom and responsibility, and no grading of the students. (Author/TS)

Peer reviewedDavis, Leslie N.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1973
Discusses a laboratory course with computer-assisted instruction which emphasizes uses of simulated data, students' improvement of experiments, and presentation of a tutorial self-test mode. Indicates that students' enthusiasm is mostly due to computer's potential for in-depth interactivity and conformity to real-life situations. (CC)

Peer reviewedFrancis, Larry D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1973
Describes the use of a simulation lesson which is written in TUTOR language for the PLATO computer for the purpose of separating a mixture of four ions with known identity. Indicates that students have more freedom to experiment than in laboratories in other traditional computer-assisted programs. (CC)

R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2010
Genomics is not only essential for students to understand biology but also provides unprecedented opportunities for undergraduate research. The goal of the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP), a collaboration between a growing number of colleges and universities around the country and the Department of Biology and Genome Center of Washington…

Peer reviewedRowe, Daryl E. – Journal of Environmental Health, 1983
The University of Georgia (UGA) biosafety program was initiated in response to requirements for recombinant DNA experiments rather than laboratory-acquired infections. This and other environmental safety programs at UGA are described, considering three of the four recognized levels of biocontainment. A fire extinguisher inspection computer program…

Junge, Benjamin; Quinones, Catherine; Kakietek, Jakub; Teodorescu, Daniel; Marsteller, Pat – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2010
We report on an outcomes assessment of the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. Using follow-up survey data and academic transcripts, we gauge SURE's impact on levels of interest in, preparedness for, and actual pursuit of graduate study and professional careers in the sciences for the…

Peer reviewedFinegold, Leonard – American Journal of Physics, 1971
A minicomputer recently introduced in a senior modern physics laboratory, and operating in a conversational mode, has been an excellent way both of teaching students computing and of encouraging them to use a computer routinely. The choice of computer languages is discussed, and the advantages and possible disadvantages of a minicomputer are…
