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…

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…

Reyna, Mercedes; Peppino Margutti, Micaela; Vilchez, Ana Carolina; Villasuso, Ana Laura – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Lipidomics is a discipline that focuses on the identification and quantification of lipids. Although a part of the larger omics field, lipidomics requires specific approaches for the analysis and biological interpretation of datasets. This article presents a series of activities for introducing undergraduate microbiology students to lipidomic…

Guzmán, José Luis; Joseph, Babu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2021
Virtual labs have proven to be very versatile and valuable for providing realistic experience for students in STE (Science, Technology, and Engineering) fields. As we progress from delivery of instructional material from classroom to the Internet, there is need to develop laboratory exercises to supplement the theoretical lessons. A Web-based…

Brenner, Eric D.; Scheid, Paul E.; DeGrazia, Justin; Geltzeiler, Alexa R.; Katari, Manpreet S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Due to its distinct phenotype and relatively simple inheritance pattern, the phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) loci is frequently utilized in teaching laboratories to demonstrate genetic concepts such as Mendelian inheritance and population genetics. We have developed a next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics approach to analyze the PTC gene locus…

Kong-Ching Wong; K. Brant Knutzen; Ignatius Ip; Steve Po-Yam Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Surface chemistry is a challenging realm for most students because of its abstract nature and numerous associated mathematical equations. Herein we report a set of dedicated sequential inquiry-based learning (IBL) activities enriched with virtual laboratory learning and hands-on instructions. The activities were intended to help students grasp…

Atkin, Keith – Physics Education, 2021
This paper shows how two distinct but related models can be used to bring out the essential physics of heat flow in one dimension. The first is a simple step-wise procedure using "SMath Studio," while the second is an electric analogue using a basic RC ladder connected to an Arduino microcontroller. Both models can be demonstrated in…

Arribas, Enrique; Escobar, Isabel; Ramirez-Vazquez, Raquel; del Pilar Suarez Rodriguez, Carmen; Gonzalez-Rubio, Jesus; Belendez, Augusto – Physics Teacher, 2020
We believe that a natural focus of the physics education research community is on understanding and improving students' learning in our physics courses. Due to the increase in technology, we can bring laboratory experiments closer to our students. It is necessary to update our laboratories technologically to get closer to the world in which our…

Rosi, Tommaso; Perini, Marica; Onorato, Pasquale; Oss, Stefano – Physics Education, 2021
We designed and tested a 3D motion tracking system which displays acquired and derived data using augmented reality. This setup, based on a virtual reality headset and its controllers, is a relatively low-cost, high-precision, six degrees of freedom, high-speed, multiple-objects tracking device. This apparatus proves to be a very high-quality…

Preisler, Vanessa; Shume, Esayas; Talbot, Jean – Physics Teacher, 2022
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the spring of 2020 many physics programs were forced to quickly transition all of their classes and laboratories to a completely online learning environment. The need for simple and engaging remote physics laboratories became apparent. One relatively low-cost remote lab system is Macmillan's iOLab device. This…
