Alison Wallum; Zetai Liu; Joy Lee; Subhojyoti Chatterjee; Lawrence Tauzin; Christopher D. Barr; Amberle Browne; Christy F. Landes; Amy L. Nicely; Martin Gruebele – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
As data science and instrumentation become key practices in common careers ranging from medicine to agriscience, chemistry as a core introductory course must introduce such topics to students early and at an accessible level. Advanced data acquisition and data science generally require expensive precision instrumentation and massive computation,…

Uzal, Gürcan – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2022
Arduino is easy to use because it is a simple system. In addition, since Arduino has an open source code system, it is a system that is open to everyone's use, can be developed and can be easily implemented. Anyone who wants to use Arduino can buy and use the necessary parts for their application. It is a platform that can be very useful in the…

Phayphung, Wissarut; Rakkapao, Suttida; Prasitpong, Singha – Physics Education, 2022
The article introduces a low-cost Arduino sensor into the Young's modulus determination laboratory for physics university students. A stainless steel ruler is used as a cantilever beam. Its free end attached a mass is slightly bent and released to make it oscillate as a simple harmonic motion. The Arduino sensor detects the moving mass's frequency…

Maclean Rouble; Matt Dobbs; Adam Gilbert – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2023
Encouraging student engagement is a key aim in any educational setting, and allowing students the freedom to pursue their own methods of solving problems through independent experimentation has been shown to markedly improve this. In many contexts, however, allowing students this flexibility in their learning is hampered by constraints of the…

Ludwig-Petsch, Kim; Hirth, Michael; Kuhn, Jochen – Physics Teacher, 2022
The typical sound of George Lucas' laser blaster in the "Star Wars" series is well known. What does a laser blaster in "Star Wars" sound like, and why? Here we show a simple way to produce this sound by using low-cost lab material, like a spring or a Slinky. Building on the work of Crawford, who analyzed the sound of a Slinky…

Durkaya, Figen – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2023
In science class, students learn by making and living information, enabling them to make sense of knowledge effectively and permanently and to associate it with daily life. Applied science courses make learning more qualified. While science teaching is carried out in application areas such as laboratories, virtual laboratories are used with the…

Ishafit; Mundilarto; Surjono, H. D. – Physics Education, 2021
This paper describes the development of a light polarization experimental apparatus for a remote laboratory. The apparatus had been developed by controlling the analyzer rotation using a stepper motor controlled via the Arduino. Device control and data acquisition applications were developed with LabVIEW which provides remote control panel…

Eder José Assink Junior; Paulo Cesar de Jesus; Endler Marcel Borges – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Here, students determine the total protein content in whey protein samples using the Lowry assay. Quantitative analysis was carried out using absorbance measured at 750 nm (standard method) and 96-well-plate digital images obtained using smartphones (proposed method). The proposed method was carried out using two smartphones (1 and 2). Smartphone…

Bastos, Rodrigo Oliveira – Physics Education, 2020
Electroscopes have been widely used in physics education for several reasons, such as their simplicity, sensitivity and visual appeal, showing macroscopic phenomena related to the microscopic world. Although they are capable of highly accurate measurements, the procedures involved in these measurements encounter some obstacles when performed with…

Kamen T. Engel; Jonathan Davidson; Alison Jolley; Ben Kennedy; Alexander R. L. Nichols – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
A virtual microscope resource was created when face-to-face labs were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 to replicate the learning goals of an introductory petrology course on microscopy. This virtual microscope resource utilized images and videos of thin sections, as well as 3D rock models to allow students to complete labs online.…

Persinger, Jonah M.; Dunham, Stacey M.; Husmann, Polly R. – HAPS Educator, 2021
Basic Human Anatomy at Indiana University is a large undergraduate anatomy class with nearly five hundred students in twelve lab sections. In the fall of 2018, we added the Virtual Human Dissector software on an interactive Sectra table to our lab to help students fill the gap between idealized anatomical models and fully prosected cadavers. We…

Kendell, Alyssa; Limback, Kylie; Lester, D. Kirk; Rogers, Robert S.; Creamer, Bradley A.; Dennis, Jennifer F. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
At Kansas City University, anatomy laboratories were delivered via remote (REM) or on-campus (OC) formats due to COVID-19, creating an opportunity to evaluate student perceptions of differences in laboratory delivery format. A six-item survey of Likert scale and open-ended questions explored the utility of anatomy software, prelab instruction…

Navarre, Edward C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A simple computer interface for controlling a compact spectrograph for use as a spectrophotometer in an undergraduate teaching laboratory was developed. The project was implemented on a Raspberry Pi computer which permits the integration of a light source into the software. The interface was written in Python to facilitate modification by the user…

Ahlia Khan-Trottier – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift in thinking regarding the safe delivery of wet laboratory courses. While we were fortunate to have the capacity to continue delivering wet laboratory experiments with physical distancing and other measures in place, modifications to the mechanisms of delivery within courses were necessary to minimize risk…
