Yu-Xuan Hong; Meng-Fan Wang; Yu Ge; Hong Yu; Chun-Yan Ni; Wei-Yi Chen; Pierre Braunstein; Jian-Ping Lang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reaction of olefins is an effective, atom-economical approach to produce cyclobutane compounds in organic synthetic chemistry, and they usually exhibit high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Here we devised a solid-state [2 + 2] photocycloaddition experiment that introduces senior undergraduate students with…

James Doble; Grace Wilson; Jacob W. Wainman – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Millions of people do not have access to clean drinking water; thus, cost-efficient water treatment systems are vital. Chemists, environmentalists, technicians, and engineers will be the professionals making breakthroughs in this industry. This laboratory experiment aims to introduce undergraduate students to the removal of pollutants from water…

Thacker, Beth – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Instructional labs: Improving traditions and new directions.] This paper presents a historical analysis of the development, implementation, research, and assessment of an evidence-based introductory algebra-based physics course. The course is laboratory based and taught with an inquiry-based…

Nahoko Kuroki; Yuji Mochizuki; Hirotoshi Mori – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In all fields of chemistry, it has become essential to use quantum chemical calculations and machine learning for explaining and predicting chemical phenomena. However, it is challenging to apply textbook knowledge to practical research. In this study, we developed teaching material based on computational chemistry to promote the integration of…

Daniela De Luchi; Renato Bonomi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Scientists have always been fascinated by transient far-from-equilibrium systems. Since the (early) 1970s, there have been literature reports on the implementation of didactic experiments as a tool for attracting and stimulating students' and general public interest. In this work, a group of 12 high school students, supported by their chemistry…

Yan Wang; Peng He; Jinling Geng; Zhiwei Zhu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
This paper presents an innovative teaching approach that integrates photoelectric technology with analytical chemistry instruction through inquiry-based learning (IBL), using cerium as a selected analyte. With the advancement of science and technology, a strong foundation of basic knowledge and methodologies is crucial in analytical chemistry…

Martin Schwichow; Anastasios Zoupidis – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Floating and sinking (FS) is a key topic in science education, both at primary and secondary levels. The interpretation of FS phenomena, however, is challenging due to the difficulty of the scientific concepts and explanatory models involved (e.g., density, buoyancy), along with students' everyday experiences, which conflict with scientific…

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of applying instructive simulation experiments (SE) to the development of deeper conceptual understanding, retention of static electricity contents, and engagement of 4th-grade students. The correlation between student achievements and engagement was examined. 76 4th graders (10-11 years) were…

Brian Shambare; Clement Simuja – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2024
The advantage of VLs lies in their capacity for simulating real-world lab experiences within a fully immersive digital environment, yet the uptake in rural schools in developing countries remains low. To understand this paradox, this study explores the perceptions of seven secondary school science teachers in a rural district in South Africa.…

Daryna Piontkivska; João M. P. Jorge; Rita Neves; Pedro Crespo; Renata Ramalho; Cristina Silva Pereira – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Fungi mostly reproduce through spores that are adapted for airborne dispersal; hence, fungal spores (and fungi) are found virtually everywhere. Fungi can be "friends or foes." Our friends include fungi used in the food and biotech industries, fungi that contribute to the cycling of carbon and nutrients, and those involved in the…

Hands-on experiments and teacher-based demonstrations are two standard teaching methods in secondary school when teaching chemistry in the laboratory. The available literature on these two teaching methods focuses on students' academic achievement. Most of this literature reports inconsistent results, and few studies examined teachers' and…

Thompson, Frank – Physics Education, 2019
Most people are familiar with arc discharges through the use of simple gas lighters within the home but corona discharges are not so common. This note presents students with three simple corona discharge experiments so that they can appreciate this form of electrical discharge. Firstly, one detects whether positive or negative ions are created;…

Aguilar, Horacio Munguía; Peña, Kassim José Mendoza – Physics Education, 2019
A simple and economical system that allows one to obtain the characteristic "I-V" curve in solar cells is presented. It is a computer-controlled system suitable as an instrumentation project for students who are learning about photovoltaic systems. This system is based on the use of an "R-3R" ladder circuit as a variable…

Saranin, Vladimir; Keldyshev, Denis; Ivanov, Yuriy – Physics Education, 2019
The article presents the results of an experimental study on the motion of a neodymium magnet on an inclined duralumin plate. During experiments, the time of motion was measured, and the steady-state velocity of the magnet motion was determined. To measure the time, a robotic set was used, which made it possible to measure the time of the motion…
