Jordan M. Renna; Katelyn B. Sondereker; Christopher L. Cors; Sara N. Chaszeyka; Kristin N. Keenan; Michael R. Corigliano; Lindsey A. Milgrom; Jessica R. Onyak; Edward J. Hamad; Maureen E. Stabio – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
The reconstruction of two-dimensional (2D) slices to three-dimensional (3D) digital anatomical models requires technical skills and software that are becoming increasingly important to the modern anatomist, but these skills are rarely taught in undergraduate science classrooms. Furthermore, learning opportunities that allow students to…

Berrit K. Czinczel; Daniela Fiedler; Ute Harms – American Biology Teacher, 2025
Evolution is the central concept of biology and key to a comprehensive understanding of any complex biological interaction. It has proven to be a particularly difficult subject for both teachers and students. Hybrid teaching environments have the potential to support students in learning about complex topics and simultaneously enable researchers…

Hannah K. Parker; Beth Zizzamia; Julie A. Pollock – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
In a typical undergraduate biochemistry course, two main educational objectives include (1) understanding and applying how genetic mutations can influence protein structure and function, and (2) examining metabolic pathways of biomolecules to study cellular storage and fuel. Many times, these topics can seem disparate to students; therefore, we…

Georgios Iakovou; L. Palmer; A. Ganesan; Akio Kitao; Stephen D. Laycock; Steven Hayward – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
DockIT is an interactive molecular docking tool suitable for teaching students about concepts related to drug-receptor interaction. Its most unique feature is the ability to model both local and global conformational change in the receptor based on information derived from the trajectory of a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The workshop…

Miras, Adolfo; Cota, Agustín; Martín, Domingo – Education Sciences, 2022
This paper describes a digital application designed for learning Space Groups of Symmetry (SGS). It teaches how to recognize the operations performed by the symmetry elements, both point (or 2D) operators (proper and improper rotations, including mirroring, inversion, and other rotoinversions), and space (or 3D) operators (screw axes and glide…

Danese, Anthony – Physics Teacher, 2022
In this paper I describe an interactive Gauss's law computer simulation using the GlowScript programming environment. The simulation calculates a point charge's electric field at locations on the surface of a Gaussian cube and displays the electric field in GlowScript's 3D graphics window. The point charge can be moved, and the electric field…

Kubsch, Marcus; Hamerski, Patti C. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Energy is a disciplinary core idea and a cross-cutting concept in the K-12 Framework for Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). As numerous authors point out, the energy model in these standards emphasizes the connections between energy and systems. Using energy ideas to interpret or make sense of phenomena means…

Yap, Michelle Khai Khun – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Experiential learning is compromised in meeting the educational demands of our students during the challenging time of the COVID-19 pandemic. A more inclusive, flexible, and objective-oriented experiential learning environment is required. In this context, module-based experiential learning that is executable on a digital platform was designed.…

Robert P. MacDonald; Anna N. Pattison; Sarah E. Cornell; Ashley K. Elgersma; Sarah N. Greidanus; Sydney N. Visser; Melanie Hoffman; Peter G. Mahaffy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Sustainability has a molecular basis that suggests a central role for chemistry in addressing today's challenges to Earth and societal systems, and this role requires educators to see chemical reactions and processes as integral parts of dynamic and interconnected systems. Despite this prospect, few accessible resources are available for students…

Koenig, Kathleen; Maries, Alexandru; Teese, Robert; Chabot, Michelle – Physics Teacher, 2022
Students in introductory college physics often have wide ranges of preparation, making it challenging to deliver effective instruction for all. While numerous educational products and strategies have been shown to be broadly effective, there is a need for research-based online materials that support personalized learning and focus specifically on…

Birriel, Jennifer J.; Wagoner, Jacob M. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Solar limb darkening is a prominent feature seen in white images of the Sun: the brightness of the solar disk is greatest at the solar center and decreases radially outward towards the limb. White light images can be used to examine and even model limb darkening; however, the limb-darkening effect is, in fact, wavelength dependent. Limb darkening…

Wannous, Jarier; Kovác, Milan – Physics Teacher, 2021
Archimedes' principle has been and still is a complicated concept to understand by introductory students, especially as typically stated in physics textbooks. Take for example its statement by Bierman: "When a body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, a buoyant force from the surrounding fluid acts on the body. The force is directed…

Lukovic, Milentije; Lukovic, Vanja; Bozic, Milos; Vujicic, Vojislav – Physics Teacher, 2021
One of the contemporary trends in the development of physics teaching is its integration with computers. Introducing computers and microcontrollers into the teaching of physics opens up completely new possibilities for explaining different physical phenomena. Microcontrollers allow the experiment to be brought back to the focus of physics teaching…

Hortsch, Michael – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
The term "histology" was coined a little over 200 years ago and the subject has always relied on microscopy as its defining technology. Microscopy was and still is an essential approach for the description of cellular components and their arrangements in living organisms. For more than a century and a half, histology or microanatomy has…

Hootan Roshandel; Matthew Shammami; Shiyun Lin; Yin-Pok Wong; Paula L. Diaconescu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The rise of virtual and online education in recent years has led to the development and popularization of many online tools, notably three-dimensional (3D) models and augmented reality (AR), for visualizing various structures in chemical sciences. The majority of the developed tools focus on either small molecules or biological systems, as…
