Bopegedera, A. M. R. P.; Coughenour, Christopher L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A new project-based laboratory (PJBL) was developed for general chemistry students to tackle the steps involved in chemical water quality analysis using an accessible, real-world hydrologic system (the lakes of the Lower Grand Coulee, Washington). This PJBL was developed in a joint general chemistry and environmental geology course by a…

Parish-Virtue, Katie; Johannisson-Wallman, Mikael; Pilkington, Lisa I.; Hsieh, Sally; Barker, David; Fedrizzi, Bruno – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The combination of organic synthesis and analytical chemistry into a related laboratory experiment is an excellent demonstration of the utility of making a compound to then be used further. Herein we describe an undergraduate laboratory experiment that involves the straightforward synthesis of an internal standard, ethyl 6-acetyloxyhexanoate, for…

Monga, Vishakha; Knox, Kerry J.; Gillis, Elizabeth A. L.; Stoodley, Robin; Bussiere, Guillaume; Rogers, Christine – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The implementation of an integrated approach to upper-level undergraduate chemistry laboratory instruction that incorporates student choice both in the selection and sequencing of the experimental work is presented. The approach involves combining laboratory work in several traditional subdisciplinary areas of chemistry in a single course.…
