Márquez, Itzel; Sáez, A. Eduardo; Ogden, Kimberly L.; Achilli, Andrea – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
The lack in process intensification (PI) training may be limiting processes to achieve sustainability goals. This project developed a hands-on course on intensified membrane processes to address knowledge gaps in PI. Bench-scale activities introduced concepts of membrane separation, operating engineering-scale modules provided a near-industrial…

Grimminger, Marsha A.; Tracey, Matthew P.; Martinus, Simeon J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Introductory organic chemistry laboratory is often a difficult course for students in terms of translating the structural information and reactivity learned in lecture to the practical applications found in the laboratory. These concepts are even more difficult when presented through distance learning when a student cannot get hands-on experience.…

Kelly E. Theisen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Dynamic biochemical processes are often difficult for students to grasp in the classroom using static images or models, or even through watching simulation videos. This is particularly true for protein-folding and enzyme catalysis, two key biochemistry concepts. The author has developed and tested two 3D, dynamic, and interactive classroom models,…

Yifei Chen; Longfei Cai; Jiaye Gong; Heyun Lai – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was implemented as a laboratory experiment by the undergraduate students majoring in chemical education using graphene (GR)/TiO[subscript 2] as a catalyst. These chemistry preservice teachers synthesized a GR/TiO[subscript 2] composite and used it to degrade wastewater containing methylene blue under…

Thomas, N. Lizabeth; Harakas, George N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Lampworking is a valuable skill for students in Chemistry and others in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related fields. The activity described here provides instructors the resources to both learn and teach the fundamentals of lampworking. Soft glass, which can be shaped and fused with a Bunsen burner, is used to improve the…

Yulin Guo; Lin Wang; Jinyan Hou; Min Fang; Xiaofeng Chen; Jianchun Bao; Zhi Su; Yong Wu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A Maker-oriented experimental course in general chemistry has been created by using digital tools, such as a computer, a pressure sensor, and data processing software, in combination with a new multiple expansion method and laboratory equipment to determine the vapor pressure precisely. In this Maker chemistry experiment, the pressure sensor…

Leonardi, Alessio Mattia; Mobilio, Settimio; Fazio, Claudio – Physics Education, 2022
Special Relativity introduces students to Modern Physics, whose importance in the high school is increasing. Nevertheless its teaching and learning is a critical issue. Different solutions have been developed to overcome the encountered difficulties. In this paper we describe the spacetime globe, a mechanical instrument that allows to experience…

Duda, Michal; Rafalska-Lasocha, Alicja; Lasocha, Wieslaw – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Three-dimensional symmetry plays a crucial role in crystallography education. The educational process can be facilitated by introducing the analysis of friezes and plane patterns such as parquets before presenting more sophisticated crystal structures. Analysis of the symmetry of parquets can serve as an opportunity to follow the full routine of…

Deon T. Miles – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Students in a typical instrumental analysis course may learn more than 30 analytical techniques. There are more than 150 components associated with the instrumentation that they learn. To help students organize this large amount of information, we classified these components into four categories: sources, samples, discriminators, and detectors. In…

Gianmarc Grazioli; Adam Ingwerson; David Santiago Jr.; Patrick Regan; Heekun Cho – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Computational chemistry instructional activities are often based around students running chemical simulations via a graphical user interface (GUI). GUI-based activities offer many advantages, as they enable students to run chemical simulations with a few mouse clicks. Although these activities are excellent for introducing students to the…

Electrophoresis is integral to analytical and biochemistry experiences in undergraduate education; however, fundamental principles of the method are often taught in upper-level laboratories through hands-on experiences. A laboratory activity is reported that teaches the concepts of electrophoretic mobility and electroosmotic flow. A single…

Orzolek, Brandon J.; Kozlowski, Marisa C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Herein, we describe an accessible and safe organic chemistry lab experiment that can be completed at home. Liquid-liquid extraction is a fundamental organic chemistry lab experiment that touches on topics such as chemical structure, density, solubility, and acid-base chemistry. Given the increased demand for safe organic chemistry experiments that…
