A renewed experimental procedure for the unknown carbonyl experiment has been developed using hydrazone synthesis, thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis, and melting point determination to differentiate between structurally similar ketones and aldehydes in undergraduate organic chemistry practical courses. Benzaldehyde, p-tolualdehyde,…

Research on children's literature focuses on preschool children's books (children aged 3-6) and on juvenile fiction, yet is lacking in studies on toddler books (ages 0-3). In this paper, I present a definition of the genre of "toddler books" (often referred to as "boardbooks," despite it including non-boardbooks), while…

Two studies investigated students' critique generation, an elaborated form of content evaluation wherein students identify information selectively, inaccurately, or incompletely presented in text(s) and consider where such selective presentation may stem from.
