De Leo-Winkler, M. A.; Wilson, G.; Green, W.; Chute, L.; Henderson, E.; Mitchell, T. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
The Deaf have often been overlooked when designing informal STEM education and public outreach activities. Astronomers at UC Riverside and teachers at the California School for the Deaf, Riverside (CSDR), have designed an astronomy workshop aimed specifically for the Deaf using the school's on-site sound lab. We have used astronomy for this…

Phelan, Shelley A.; Szabo, Elizabeth – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
This sequence of labs was developed for an upper level undergraduate cell biology course at Fairfield University. The labs are based on the use of the K562 human erythroleukemia cell line, a model system that is exceptionally amenable to an undergraduate cell biology lab course due to its ease of maintenance and propagation and usefulness for…

Santos-Díaz, Stephanie; Hensiek, Sarah; Owings, Taylor; Towns, Marcy H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Previous work has shown a misalignment between the goals of faculty and students for laboratory coursework. Although faculty often list learning techniques and developing critical thinking skills as goals for laboratory, students tend to focus on affective goals, such as finishing lab early and obtaining good grades. The goals of faculty have been…

Young, Michael C.; Djernes, Katherine E.; Payton, John L.; Liu, Daniel; Hooley, Richard J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
In response to the call for an increased emphasis from the American Chemical Society on including macromolecular studies in the undergraduate curriculum, a supramolecular-themed experiment was designed for undergraduate-level organic laboratory courses that provides a convenient platform to study physical behaviors of supramolecular assemblies.…

Lincoln, James – Physics Teacher, 2019
Python is a free, text-based programming language that has already been used by those who do physics research to great effect. But students can also learn to use it and, through its use, learn other aspects of physics--especially ones that are difficult or impossible to perform as physical labs. This article serves as a most-fundamental start for…

Auty, Geoff – School Science Review, 2019
Scientific thinking can be applied to things we do at home. Effective results can be achieved in cooking or cleaning while also focusing on doing so with minimal waste of resources. This can also mean better economy. Choosing appropriate designs of equipment can make certain jobs easier. Three different topics are described to demonstrate these…

Avci, Filiz – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Virtual laboratories have started to be the leading alternative teaching tools during the COVID-19 pandemic process. The "Acid-Base" subject is among those that form the foundations of biochemistry. Students can learn the "Acid-Base" subject in a secure environment, with remote access through the use of virtual laboratory…

Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Purba, Siska Wati Dewi – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2022
The Ubiquitous-Physics (U-Physics) app was upgraded to help students in learning inclined plane concepts. The new version of U-Physics allows students to see the experimental data not only in a graphical representation but also in a tabular representation. U-Physics provides a whiteboard function to support data explanations. The study…

Petropoulos, M.; Tsirigotis, A.; Leisos, A . – Physics Education, 2022
The microNet ([mu]Net) project aims at the development of an extended network of educational cosmic ray telescopes in the geographical area of western Greece. In the initial phase (2022-2023) of the project, 20 telescopes will be deployed in high school buildings, while more than 50 schools will attend the educational program of [mu]Net by…

Sithole, Alec; Chiyaka, Edward T.; Mabwe, Kumbirai – Higher Education Studies, 2022
Our study evaluates students' approaches to and perceptions of the use of hands-on at-home laboratory kits (HALK) experiments, open-source computer-based simulations (OSCBS), and their combination (OSCBS-HALK) in undergraduate introductory asynchronous online physics courses. Anonymous survey data from students who had completed online physics…

Ambruso, Kelly; Riley, Kathryn R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In this communication, we describe five at-home laboratory experiments and demonstrations that complement a semester-long analytical chemistry curriculum. The experiments were successfully carried out by remote undergraduate students enrolled in a hybrid analytical chemistry course during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students used their personal…

Instructor Talk--noncontent and nonlogistical language that is focused on shaping the classroom learning environment--is a recently defined variable that may play an important role in how undergraduates experience courses. Previous research characterized Instructor Talk used by faculty teaching in biology lecture classrooms. However, graduate…

Zhdanov, Arsenii; Pyay, Anna – Physics Teacher, 2022
Mobile phones are a widely used platform for educational apps, mobile health, and a variety of chemical tests. Here, we are working on a mobile phone-based physics lab (mPhysics) that uses a mobile phone's capabilities to run simple physics experiments and demonstrations. While a mobile phone can be used to analyze magnetic and optical properties…

Ieva Zigg; Ed G. Neeland – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
COVID-19 public health measures have forced educators to adapt their courses to an online or hybrid presentation format with laboratory components facing particular challenges. We surmised that having introductory organic chemistry students orally present selected faculty literature publications would provide a flexible alternative to our final…

Shannon J. Saluga; Hannah Peacock; Daniel D. Seith; Casadora C. A. Boone; Yasamin Fazeli; Rebecca Mai Huynh; Jinyu Luo; Zane Naghi; Renée D. Link – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Remote delivery approaches to laboratory courses in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic have included a spectrum spanning passive options such as providing students with prerecorded videos of experiments to replacing in-person laboratory experiences with immersive virtual reality environments. While interactive activities that require students…
