The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Kuzmenko, Tatiana; Sharma, Ashwarya; Willette, Demian A. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities are excellent opportunities to introduce first-year undergraduate students to the lab environment and to catalyze new interest in topics they may not yet know or be as enthusiastic about studying. We describe a multisession introductory laboratory activity that couples the research areas of medicinal…

Gin, Logan E.; Scott, Rachel A.; Pfeiffer, Leilani D.; Zheng, Yi; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Syllabi are usually required by institutions of higher education and often are the first exposure that students have to a particular course. Instructors can use syllabi as a mechanism to convey important information to students. Moreover, a syllabus can be considered a tool to create inclusive biology courses by transmitting information to all…

Lietard, Aude; Screen, Martin A.; Flindt, Diana L.; Jordan, Caleb J. C.; Robson, Jacquie M.; Verlet, Jan R. R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A dual-function student-crafted instrument is described as part of a laboratory activity aimed to teach both the principles and practical aspects of absorption spectroscopy to secondary and introductory undergraduate students. Using minimal changes in an arrangement that is based on interlocking bricks and low-cost components, both a fluorometer…

Gao, Ruomei; Lloyd, Judith; Emenike, Bright U.; Quarless, Duncan; Kim, Youngjoo; Emenike, Mary E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Engaging students in scientific practices has become an important pedagogical component in STEM education, although its implementation in laboratories is still emerging. This paper uses three types of guiding questions to facilitate scientific practices in introductory and analytical chemistry laboratories. What makes our instructional model…

Fan, Wenxuan; Mencius, Jun; Du, Wenjing; Fan, Huangyunxian; Zhu, Hongjin; Wei, Dongzhi; Zhou, Mian; Quan, Shu – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
In this information era, there is an urgent need for tighter integration of bioinformatics and experimental biology. The enormous amount of data generated by biological experiments calls for extensive computational analysis. Many bioinformatics textbooks at present mainly focus on theories, which hinders the vigorous development of scientific…

Nunes, Rhewter; de Bem Oliveira, Ivone; de Araújo Dias, Priscila; Bidinotto, Alexandre Borges; de Campos Telles, Mariana Pires – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
In this paper, we propose and describe a new approach, named BarcodingGO, to teach environmental DNA and bioinformatics concepts to undergraduate or graduate students in molecular biology-related fields. The learning pipeline proposed here aims to solve a simulated environmental monitoring problem, in which a biodiversity survey of a particular…

Robinson, Alma; Simonetti, John H.; Richardson, Kasey; Wawro, Megan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
A large body of research shows that using interactive engagement pedagogy in the introductory physics classroom consistently results in significant student learning gains; however, with a few exceptions, those learning gains tend not to be accompanied by more expert-like attitudes and beliefs about physics and learning physics. In fact, in both…

Atieh, Emily L.; York, Darrin M.; Muñiz, Marc N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
As the conversation in higher education shifts from diversity to inclusion, the attrition rates of students in the STEM fields continue to be a point of discussion. Combined with the demand for expansion in the STEM workforce, various retention reforms have been proposed, implemented, and in some cases integrated into policy following evidence of…

Wang, Hui; Li, Zheyu; Ding, Jie; Ren, Nanqi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This experiment combines analytical techniques of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-QTOF-MS) to determine organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in river water as a means to develop and improve student understanding of the use of GC-QTOF-MS for qualitative and quantitative analysis. In…

Goes, Shannon L.; Mayer, Mikayla N.; Nutting, Jordan E.; Hoober-Burkhardt, Lena E.; Stahl, Shannon S.; Rafiee, Mohammad – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Organic electrosynthesis is an increasingly popular tool for driving and probing redox reactions. Recent advances in this field often employ an electrocatalyst to enhance the selectivity and efficiency of electrochemical reactions. A laboratory experiment was developed to introduce students to relevant mechanistic techniques in electrochemistry…

Farley, Elijah R.; Fringer, Victoria; Wainman, Jacob W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In an idealized General Chemistry Laboratory curriculum, students would hone their experimental design ability with practice encouraged by laboratory exercises designed to be open-ended. However, traditional General Chemistry Laboratory courses often lack opportunities for students to design their own experiments, instead opting to provide…

Evans, John S. O.; Evans, Ivana Radosavljevic – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Powder diffraction is one of the most widely used analytical techniques for characterizing solid state materials. It can be used for phase or polymorph identification, quantitative analysis, cell parameter determination, or even full crystal structure analysis using the powerful Rietveld refinement method. As with much of modern crystallography,…

Cirillo, Pier F.; Caccavale, Alexis; DeLuna, Alicia – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Highly efficient microwave-assisted organic synthesis is now commonplace in both industry and academia. Recently, a conductively heated sealed-vessel reactor was introduced that acts very similarly to a microwave reactor and is more affordable. Application of such reactors in teaching laboratories is advantageous because of the restricted window…
