Bastos, Rodrigo Oliveira; Cordeiro Filho, Luiz Artur; Ikeoka, Renato Akio – Physics Education, 2022
The necessity to teach experimental physics in the pandemic period motivated the development of practices in which students may take measurements with instruments constructed by themselves. In this article, we present an experimental practice to approach Newton's law of cooling with a thermoscope (the earliest device for detecting changes in…

Shegufta Shetranjiwalla; Molly S. J. Hu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Green chemistry and chemical safety complement each other in reducing adverse health and safety outcomes. However, it is imperative to train students of advanced synthetic chemistry, beyond reaction mechanisms, to proactively connect complex experiments with hazard analysis, risk minimization, and planetary sustainability. Virtual experiments…

Marincean, Simona; Scribner, Steven L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
University of Michigan--Dearborn offers a one semester, two credit, stand-alone Organic Chemistry Laboratory course aimed at students with an interest in health-related careers. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a campus closure and a subsequent transition to a partially remote laboratory curriculum developed on-the-fly for the Winter 2020 semester…

Cachichi, Ricardo Cenamo; Junior, Gildo Girotto; Galembeck, Eduardo; Junior, José Antonio Moreira Schewinsky; Gomes, Diego Ferreira; de Alencar Simoni, José – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A remote experiment was developed and carried out to create a phenol/water phase diagram using a low-cost automated data collection system and an online video broadcast. Both the data and video from the experiment were transmitted in real-time. The remote lab experiment was evaluated using qualitative and quantitative questionnaires filled out by…

Worrall, Andrew F.; Bergstrom Mann, Patrick E.; Young, Damion; Wormald, Mark R.; Cahill, Samuel T.; Stewart, Malcolm I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Teaching practical chemistry skills remotely is not a task that would have been high on the agenda only a few months ago. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, students around the world are having to work from home, and the chemistry education community has been forced to adapt to the new circumstances. In response, we discuss the use of…

Irby, Stefan M.; Borda, Emily J.; Haupt, Justin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Here, we describe the implementation a hybrid general chemistry teaching laboratory curriculum that replaces a portion of a course's traditional "wet lab" experiences with online virtual lab modules. These modules intentionally utilize representations on all three levels of the chemistry triplet-macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic.…
