Varberg, Thomas D.; Pearlman, Bradley W.; Wyse, Ian A.; Gleason, Samuel P.; Kellett, Dalir H. P.; Moffett, Kenneth L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
In this paper, we describe an experiment for the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory in which students determine the speed of sound in the gases He, N[subscript 2], CO[subscript 2], and CF[subscript 3]CH[subscript 2]F. The experimental apparatus consists of a closed acrylic tube containing the gas under study. White audio noise is injected…

Chao, Jie; Chiu, Jennifer L.; DeJaegher, Crystal J.; Pan, Edward A. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2016
Deep learning of science involves integration of existing knowledge and normative science concepts. Past research demonstrates that combining physical and virtual labs sequentially or side by side can take advantage of the unique affordances each provides for helping students learn science concepts. However, providing simultaneously connected…
