Yifan Li; Anmin Liu; Runming Si; Leyan Liu; Qidong Zhao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The plate and frame filtration experiment is one of the essential experiments performed by undergraduate students during their practical education. While this experiment often relies on the conventional manual recording of data and calculation, there are frequent problems with data collection because capturing transient data of filtrate volume and…

Vollmer, Michael; Möllmann, Klaus-Peter – Physics Education, 2018
Video analysis with a 30 Hz frame rate is the standard tool in physics education. The development of affordable high-speed-cameras has extended the capabilities of the tool for much smaller time scales to the 1 ms range, using frame rates of typically up to 1000 frames s[superscript -1], allowing us to study transient physics phenomena happening…

Carvalho, Paulo Simeão; Hahn, Marcelo – Physics Teacher, 2016
The result of additive colors is always fascinating to young students. When we teach this topic to 14- to 16-year-old students, they do not usually notice we use maximum light quantities of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) to obtain yellow, magenta, and cyan colors in order to build the well-known additive color diagram of Fig. 1. But how about…

Nicklin, R. C. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1985
Microcomputers can record laboratory measurements which human laboratory partners can never collect. Simple, harder, and general-purpose interfaces are discussed, with suggestions for several experiments involving an exercise bike, acceleration, and pendulums. Additional applications with pH meters, spectrophotometers, and chromatographs are also…

Marcovitz, Alan B., Ed. – 1978
Four computer programs written in FORTRAN and BASIC develop theoretical predictions and data reduction for a junior-senior level heat exchanger experiment. Programs may be used at the terminal in the laboratory to check progress of the experiment or may be used in the batch mode for interpretation of final information for a formal report. Several…

Beatty, Jim – Computers in Chemical Education Newsletter, 1985
Suggests purchasing a digital multimer (DMM) with an IEEE-488 option to interface an instrument to a microcomputer, indicating that a DMM is well protected from overloads and is easy to connect. An example of its use in an experiment involving hydrolysis of tertiary butyl alcohol (with program listing) is given. (JN)

Anderson, Robert J.; Woodworth, Paul H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1985
Describes laboratory experiments suitable for teaching the principles of digital electronics and computer interfacing to undergraduate chemistry students. Also describes the program for teaching laboratory uses of computers. The program functions to teach principles of computer interfacing while displacing as little chemistry as possible from the…
