Escape rooms are making their way into the chemistry classroom as a learning tool. However, escape rooms require a large amount of preparation and setup, and they are only novel and exciting for a single play-through. For escape room games to be incorporated into multiple class periods, they must be streamlined for reuse. In this work, I introduce…

Sung Ho Yang; Jeong-Mo Choi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The periodic table is a fundamental tool used in chemistry classes that allows students to systematically understand different types of elements and their physical and chemical properties. While many textbooks emphasize the historical process of classifying substances, they often superficially elucidate the achievements of chemists such as Dmitry…

Xiao Li; Marc Mun~iz; Karlun Chun; Jonathan Tai; Francesca Guerra; Darrin M. York – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Atomic orbitals represent an essential construct used to develop chemical bonding models, upon which other more advanced chemistry topics are built. In this article, we share a series of active-learning activities and a gamified approach to develop students' representational competence about atomic orbitals and to engage students in learning the…

Elijah St. Germain – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Many approaches to teaching Newman projections and conformational manipulation rely on lecturing using only two-dimensional representations. While molecular models are recognized as useful learning tools, students are often left to figure out how to use them during the initial learning process. The availability of basic online molecular models…

Sergio Fuentes Anton – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Teaching natural sciences can be challenging, especially with unmotivated or disinterested students. The challenge increases when the term "Didactics" appears in the subjects under study, for example, with Didactics of Natural Sciences. The present work details the design and execution process of an escape room experience used as a…

Dutton, KaitlynG.; Lipke, Mark C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Frost diagrams provide convenient illustrations of the aqueous reduction potentials and thermodynamic tendencies of different oxidation states of an element. Undergraduate textbooks often describe the lowest point on a Frost diagram as the most stable oxidation state of the element, but this interpretation is misleading because the thermodynamic…

Corinna Mo¨nch; Silvija Markic – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Language, and thus scientific language, is essential for chemistry teaching and learning. To be able to successfully teach the scientific language of chemistry, the Chemish, (prospective) chemistry teachers need to possess pedagogical scientific language knowledge (PSLK).Thus, teacher preparation needs to focus explicitly on Chemish and its…

Matheus Almeida Bauer Zytkuewisz; Denis Ricardo Martins de Godoi; Amadeu Moura Bego – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This study's general theme revolves around practical work in chemical education, and its scope is the employment of a novel inquiry strategy combined with a new openness level. We investigate how the controlled positive error, a new device for inquiry activities developed by us, affects undergraduate students' experience of an experiment and…

For some professionally, vocationally, or technically oriented careers, curricula delivered in higher education establishments may focus on teaching material related to a single discipline. By contrast, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary teaching(MITT) results in improved affective and cognitive learning and critical…

An Organic Chemistry Activity to Improve Student Understanding of Molecules as 3-Dimensional Objects
Charles E. Jakobsche; Anh-Vy Le – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This report describes an activity that helps organic chemistry students to better understand organic molecules as 3-dimensional objects. To accomplish this goal, the activity employs a unique three-way combination of analyzing computer-generated 3-dimensional renditions of open access X-ray crystallography data, building physical 3-dimensional…
