Direct linkSnyder, Henry David; Kucukkal, Tugba G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Computational chemistry modeling activities that took place as part of a course in physical chemistry are described. The main software tools used by the students were Avogadro and ORCA, which are freely available on the Internet for academic use. Avogadro is molecular visualization software, which can be used not only to prepare input files for a…

Gómez Siurana, Amparo; Font-Escamilla, Alicia – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
In this work, different alternatives for locating the optimal feed stage in a distillation column as well as the effect of the feed temperature are studied, by solving a classroom problem. The results obtained permit us to select the best way to optimize the feed stage location as well as to detect what thermal feed phase conditions should be…

Ahlburg, Jakob Voldum; Menhinnitt, Zach; Thomas-Hunt, Jack; Saura-Mu´zquiz, Matilde; Christensen, Mogens – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In this experiment, students explore the synthesis and physical property characterization of the magnetic material strontium hexaferrite (SrFe[subscript 12]O[subscript 19]). SrFe[subscript 12]O[subscript 19] crystallites are prepared by a simple but fascinating sol-gel autocombustion synthesis. The prepared powder is compacted into pellets and…

Jrène Rahm – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: A move beyond static and representational accounts of science learning and becoming through relations is needed. Purpose: In this paper extra-learning activities in science offered by a community organization to an elementary class over one academic school year are assessed in light of their contributions to science learning and…

Beatriz Carrasquer-Álvarez; Adrián Ponz-Miranda – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Research into seed germination classroom activities has been common in the last few decades. Didactic proposals have generally focused on the implementation of guided activities in a specific educational stage and context, and an evaluation of the results. However, it is not evident that students approach seed and germination concepts with a…

Yuwei Chen; Nat Ku; Bonnie Lin; Jonathan Sun; Andrew Wang; Jin Kim Montclare – Discover Education, 2025
Tangible teaching aids can provide a valuable supplement to traditional textbook-based learning of fundamental STEM concepts. 3D-printed templates detailing the construction of simple parallel and series circuits were incorporated into the lesson plans for 6th-grade introductory physics. Aiming to introduce the concepts of junction and loop rules…

Dudas, Cecilia; Rundgren, Carl-Johan; Lundegård, Iann – Science & Education, 2023
Research has shown the importance of dealing with real-life issues and of enabling student encounters with complexity in chemistry education in order to increase student participation. Therefore, this study aims to analyse how complexity evolves in students' discussions and how this complexity relates to aspects of tentativeness in chemistry. In…

Kantor, Andrew G.; Scherr, Thomas Foster; Wright, David W.; Verberne-Sutton, Susan Denise – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been used extensively for diagnosis of various diseases and conditions because they are inexpensive, rapid, robust, and easy to use. Incorporating LFAs into undergraduate chemistry courses could enrich the curricula by providing the students with a real-world application of analytical chemistry concepts,…

Rachmatullah, Arif; Wiebe, Eric N. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Integral to fostering computational thinking (CT) skills, which are increasingly essential in today's digital era, has been the shift of paper-based pictorial modeling activities to computational modeling. Research has indicated that modeling activities can advance students' understanding of a system's mechanism (i.e., systems thinking), such as…

With support from QuarkNet, high school students investigated the effect of overburden on muon flux by collecting data from Fermilab's Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) tunnel. Muon flux varied due to a change in overburden created by a 103-meter deep access shaft. A profile of muon flux as a function of distance from the access…
