Kholod, Yana; Hoag, Erin; Muratore, Katlynn; Kosenkov, Dmytro – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
The reported project-based laboratory unit introduces upper-division undergraduate students to the basics of computer-aided drug discovery as a part of a computational chemistry laboratory course. The students learn to perform model binding of organic molecules (ligands) to the DNA minor groove with computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) tools. The…

Sanders, Richard W.; Crettol, Gregory L.; Brown, Joseph D.; Plummer, Patrick T.; Schendorf, Tara M.; Oliphant, Alex; Swithenbank, Susan B.; Ferrante, Robert F.; Gray, Joshua P. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Electrochemistry is primarily taught in first-year undergraduate courses through batteries; this lab focuses instead on corrosion to apply electrochemical concepts of electrolytes, standard reduction potentials, galvanic cells, and other chemistry concepts including Le Chatelier's Principle and Henry's Law. Students investigate galvanic corrosion…

Bauer, Christina A.; Hamada, Terianne Y.; Kim, Hyesoo; Johnson, Mathew R.; Voegtle, Matthew J.; Emrick, Matthew S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Quantum dots (QDs) are useful for demonstrating the particle-in-a-box (PIB) model utilized in quantum chemistry, and can readily be applied to a discussion of both thermodynamics and kinetics in an undergraduate laboratory setting. Modifications of existing synthetic procedures were used to create QDs of different sizes and compositions (CdS…

White, Nicholas G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
This experiment prepares a large (M[subscript r]: 1821 g mol[superscript -1]) triple helicate complex quickly in one pot from inexpensive starting materials. The protocol illustrates the power of self-assembly in a simple manner that is suitable for second-year general chemistry students using reversible imine bond and metal-ligand bond formation.…

May, N. W.; McNamara, S. M.; Wang, S.; Kolesar, K. R.; Vernon, J.; Wolfe, J. P.; Goldberg, D.; Pratt, K. A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
An introductory general chemistry laboratory course was developed to provide an authentic research experience in environmental chemistry. First- and second-year students learned general chemistry concepts and laboratory skills in the context of snow chemistry while participating in the course-based undergraduate research experience. Students were…

Soong, Ronald; Agmata, Kyle; Doyle, Tina; Jenne, Amy; Adamo, Tony; Simpson, Andre – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
With the advances in open-source technology, many laboratory devices can be built with a modest budget, particularly assistive laboratory devices. The current market cost of most assistive laboratory devices is a major barrier for students with accessibility needs. Specifically, for students with visual impairment, their limited choice of…

Deutch, Charles E. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Laboratory reports written in the style of a standard scientific article are commonly used to assess student learning in biochemistry laboratory courses. While most students can complete the Materials and Methods or Results sections successfully, many have difficulty with the Introduction and Discussion. They fail to place their data in a larger…

Budner, Drew; Simpson, Brett – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Students entering into a quantitative analysis course often struggle with connecting theoretical aspects of concepts from lecture to hands-on applications in the laboratory setting. A one-semester quantitative analysis course was redesigned to integrate active learning with a project-based curriculum that incorporated structured review of…

Cooper, Tyler; Trafford, Russell; Attaluri, Anilchandra; Vernengo, Andrea Jennifer – Chemical Engineering Education, 2018
This paper describes an undergraduate laboratory experiment where students study the heating behavior of magnetic nanoparticles in the presence of alternating magnetic fields. Average score on the post-test was 45±12% for students who completed the lab online, versus 43±11% for those doing the activity hands-on. Post-test scores were significantly…

Coleman, Aaron B.; Lorenzo, Kyla; McLamb, Flannery; Sanku, Abhiraj; Khan, Sahil; Bozinovic, Goran – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Effectively teaching scientific reasoning requires an understanding of the challenges students face when learning these skills. We designed an assessment that measures undergraduate student abilities to form hypotheses, design experiments, and interpret data from experiments in cellular and molecular biology. The assessment uses…

Güler, Maside; Ünal, Suat – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Achieving the targeted of university physics courses and improving student motivation requires varying types of instructional design. One alternative approach to the traditional lecture format involves the use of historical science stories, which are narratives that present episodes from the life of a scientist, as well as…

J. C. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Historically, Anatomy education is an in-person discipline involving exposure to human body donors that facilitates personal and professional growth through, in part, the initiation of reflection on the topic of death. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic the decreased exposure to cadaveric anatomy for many health professions students may have…
