The flue gas from waste incineration power plants contains high-level zinc species that may deactivate the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NO[subscript x]) with NH[subscript 3]. A comparison experiment was designed to investigate the effect of different types and Zn/Ce molar ratios on the performance of…

Stephanie M. Tenney; Arlene A. Russell; Jennifer R. Casey – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
During COVID-19 remote instruction, instructors were tasked with providing students with authentic laboratory experiences in an out-of-classroom environment. One solution developed for our introductory general chemistry laboratory involved students critiquing readily available technique videos to distinguish between correct and incorrect…

In 2017, the Department of Biology at Virginia Wesleyan University modified its two-course introductory sequence in response to high DFW rates (>50% scoring a D, F, or withdrawing) in the first semester. The revised curriculum created a new third course and moved content that many students struggled with from the first semester to the third…

Alexandra Taraboletti – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In response to the shifting modalities of laboratory-based education, particularly amidst the rise of virtual and at-home instruction, we introduce a novel hybrid laboratory module for undergraduate biochemistry and biology courses. Central to this innovative approach is the use of sourdough as a versatile and accessible model organism, enabling a…

A laboratory experiment was designed to introduce the practical application of biocatalysis in Bachelor and Master courses in biotechnology and medicinal chemistry, respectively. To this aim, the lipase from "Candida rugosa" was characterized (protein concentration and activity), immobilized on a carrier (by hydrophobic adsorption), and…

Das, K. Rohini; Antony, M. Jinish – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
For the present lab demonstration, we have developed fluorescent indicators to detect the end point in microscale redox titration of ferrous ions in permanganometry, cerimetry, and dichrometry. Microscale redox titrations were carried out effectively in micromolar(µM) concentrations and semi-microvolumes of the analytes. At the end point,…

Rojas, Roberto – Physics Teacher, 2022
In one of the Faraday's experiments an electric current is induced in a conducting loop when a magnet in front of it moves towards or away from the loop. While the direction of circulation of the electric current in the loop has only two options, it depends on three experimental conditions that generate eight cases. Even though the Faraday law or…

Widely used in research laboratories, immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a transferable skill that prepares undergraduate students for a variety of careers in the biomedical field. We have developed an inquiry-based learning IHC laboratory exercise, which introduces students to the theory, procedure, and data interpretation of antibody staining.…

Horikoshi, Ryo; Shirotani, Dai; Shioyama, Hiroshi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Buckminsterfullerene (C[subscript 60]), along with diamond and graphite, appears in many chemistry textbooks as an example of an allotrope of carbon. This communication describes a hands-on activity to explore the characteristic structure of C[subscript 60] through the construction of a structural model using transistors and plastic tubes…

An undergraduate laboratory was developed as part of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases "initiative's" Open Synthesis Network. This activity aimed to develop new compounds efficacious against visceral leishmaniasis. Students successfully synthesized, purified, and characterized ten different benzoxazole amides that were sent for biological…

Kaps, A.; Stallmach, F. – Physics Teacher, 2022
In physics lessons at secondary school and experimental physics courses at universities, the magnetic field inside a current-carrying solenoid is considered quantitatively. The corresponding equations and theories are supported by measuring the magnetic flux density inside the solenoid with a Hall probe. It has already been shown that smartphones…

Larison, Karen D. – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022
Although students in college science courses typically learn laboratory techniques and practices, few are taught about the communicative interactions that occur within the larger scientific community. In this paper, I propose that to educate a scientifically literate public -- one that comprehends the centrality of argument in the production of…

Chudinov, Peter; Eltyshev, Vladimir; Barykin, Yuri – Physics Teacher, 2022
The study of the motion of a projectile, thrown at an angle to the horizon, is a wonderful classical problem. This issue has been the subject of great interest to investigators for centuries. Currently, the study of parabolic motion, in the absence of any drag force, is a common example in introductory physics courses. The theory of parabolic…
