In this article, we present a low-cost lab experience, enhanced by new technologies and easy to execute. The objective of the experiment is to explore the moment of inertia of a fidget spinner quantitatively. Our choice was to integrate the teaching of physics with the use of a popular toy, the fidget spinner, very popular among young people and…

Levonis, Stephan M.; Tauber, Amanda L.; Schweiker, Stephanie S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper describes the design and effectiveness of a 360° (identified as 360) virtual laboratory tour which was implemented in a second-year undergraduate chemistry subject to familiarize the students with the research laboratory environment, equipment, and skills needed to undertake the subject and first laboratory session. We include step by…

Vater, Ashley; Mayoral, Jaime; Nunez-Castilla, Janelle; Labonte, Jason W.; Briggs, Laura A.; Gray, Jeffrey J.; Makarevitch, Irina; Rumjahn, Sharif M.; Siegel, Justin B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Including undergraduate research in STEM education is a well-supported and growing high-impact practice that has been made much more scalable through integrating these experiences into the classroom. Here we describe a new biochemistry Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) that follows a design-to-data workflow with a strong…

Many authors suggest that is necessary to include the most important episodes from physics history in teaching and learning in order to give students some ideas about the nature of science. The pendulum-related aspects are considered as very adequate for that purpose. Unfortunately, when some physics textbook authors present historical…

Walck-Shannon, Elise; Batzli, Janet; Pultorak, Josh; Boehmer, Hailey – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Threshold concepts are fundamental to a discipline and, once understood, transform students' understanding and perception of the subject. Despite the value of threshold concepts as a learning "portal" for heuristic purposes, there is limited empirical evidence of threshold crossing or achieving mastery. As a threshold concept, biological…

Murshid, Nimer; Cathcart, Nicole; Kitaev, Vladimir – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Teaching emulsion polymerization is an important benchmark in undergraduate polymer courses. However, the introduction of hands-on experiments in undergraduate polymer laboratories is challenging: experimental time, reagents, and equipment involved are the primary restraints. We report a practical emulsion polymerization laboratory experiment for…

Diaz Eaton, C.; Highlander, H. C.; Dahlquist, K. D.; Ledder, G.; LaMar, M. D.; Schugart, R. C. – PRIMUS, 2019
Despite widespread calls for the incorporation of mathematical modeling into the undergraduate biology curriculum, there is lack of a common understanding around the definition of modeling, which inhibits progress. In this paper, we extend the "Rule-of-Four," initially used in calculus reform efforts, to a "Rule-of-Five"…

Carberry, Tom P.; Lukeman, Philip S.; Covell, Dustin J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
We present here an extension of Morrison's and Ruder's "Sequence-Response Questions" (SRQs) that allows for more nuance in the assessment of student responses to these questions. We have implemented grading software (which we call ANGST, "Automated Nuanced Grading & Statistics Tool") in a Microsoft Excel sheet that can take…

Le, Nguyen Nhat Thu; Klinkerch, Edmund J.; Thamattoor, Dasan M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A multifaceted experiment, accessible to students either in an introductory organic chemistry course or in a more advanced laboratory setting, is described for investigating the addition of dichlorocarbene to E- and Z-[beta]-methylstyrenes. The innovative exercise, which integrates elements of synthesis, mechanisms, instrumental analysis,…

An experiment for the synthesis of N-acyl derivatives of natural amino acids has been developed as part of the Distributed Drug Discovery (D3) program. Students use solid-phase synthesis techniques to complete a three-step, combinatorial synthesis of six products, which are analyzed using LC-MS and NMR spectroscopy. This protocol is suitable for…

Yong, Fang; Zhu, Qiuhong; Zhang, Guohao; Tao, Guohong; Qin, Song – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The stated purpose of this paper is to provide a simple and quick method to assemble pH electrodes using readily available materials. The present assembled electrodes are comparable with commercial pH electrodes, with accuracy for pH determination in the range 2-12. Furthermore, the constructed simple pH electrodes exhibit a fast and stable…

Instructor Talk--noncontent language used by instructors in classrooms--is a recently defined and promising variable for better understanding classroom dynamics. Having previously characterized the Instructor Talk framework within the context of a single course, we present here our results surrounding the applicability of the Instructor Talk…

Waal, Eric; Tran, Thomas; Abbondanza, Domenic; Dey, Arup; Peterson, Celeste – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for gene editing and it has become increasingly important for biology students to understand this emerging technique. Most CRISPR laboratory teaching modules use complex metazoan systems or mammalian cell culture which can be expensive. Here, we present a lab module that engages students in learning the…

Davies, Kevin W. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2019
In recent years, video-based lectures have been increasingly used in education as part of flipped classroom approaches, adult education, distance learning, and other applications. Though approaches in video-based lectures have been widely studied, less has been reported in the development of approaches to teach relevant technical skills, such as…

The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, which is one of the most important methods for C-C bond formation in modern organic synthesis, exhibits broad functional group compatibility. A Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling protocol is reported that is suitable for demonstrating this compatibility in undergraduate laboratories. In this reaction, two…
