Bouzit, Sophia; Alami, Anouar; Selmaoui, Sabah; Zaki, Moncef; Agorram, Boujemaa – European Journal of Educational Research, 2020
This exploratory study aims to verify whether the current use of scientific experiments in the Moroccan high-school science curriculum meets students' needs for experimental scientific learning. For that purpose, a sample chapter of the official science textbook was analysed in detail. The analysis was carried out using a didactic model of the…

Dziob, Daniel; Cepic, Mojca – Physics Education, 2020
Heat transfer is a phenomenon well known from everyday life. It is intuitively connected to the properties of materials, that is, to the physics concept of thermal conductivity relevant for cooking or maintaining the constant temperature in rooms, even without being familiar to the underlying physics. However, measurement of thermal conductivity…

Cortney, Candice H.; Krishnan, V. V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Keto-enol tautomerism is a fundamental concept that examines the migration of a proton between two constitutional isomers, the keto and enol tautomer. Many experiments have been proposed to understand the concept behind Meyer's Rule, which states that the keto tautomer is favored as the solvent polarity increases. However, all the experiments have…

Greenslade, Thomas B., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 2020
This note is about 1000 words in length. We have been taught that this much information is contained in a single picture. But, Fig. 1 is so rich that four separate ideas can be obtained from it! The figure appears in "The Boy's Playbook of Science" by John Henry Pepper. Pepper tells us that this shows an "assistant standing on the…

Wijenayaka, Lahiru A.; Iqbal, Sithy S. – Asian Association of Open Universities Journal, 2021
Purpose: Although technology is a defining characteristic of distance education, assessment of the applicability of such resources in knowledge dissemination is greatly warranted to ensure effectivity. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the viability of a novel tool in teaching practical chemistry online. Design/methodology/approach:…

Morris, John; Winter, Margie – American Biology Teacher, 2021
We describe a series of three experiments in which students develop a model system for measuring the LC50 of household substances, using grass seed as the model organism. Students use statistical methods to compare two samples (using chi-square and Student's "t"-tests), conduct a two-level multifactor experiment to look at multiple…

Navalkar, Vinita; Sawant, Sumedh; Mourya, Shubham – Physics Education, 2021
The concept of black body is of primary importance in studying the energy transfer of thermal electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths. Several physical bodies like incandescent lamps, electric heaters, stoves, the sun and the other stars, microwave background radiation, etc., are considered to be black bodies as their radiation spectra fits…

Cannon, Amy S.; Keirstead, Amy E.; Hudson, Reuben; Levy, Irvin J.; MacKellar, Jennifer; Enright, Mollie; Anderson, Kate R.; Howson, Elizabeth M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Green chemistry provides unique opportunities for student engagement through K-12 and community outreach. As a platform for safe, engaging outreach, green chemistry activities allow for hands-on approaches to introducing science and chemistry concepts in informal settings. Green chemistry outreach also is a means for American Chemical Society…

Ferrarelli, Paola; Iocchi, Luca – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2021
Novel technology has been applied to improve students' learning abilities in different disciplines. The research in this field is still finding suitable methodologies, tools, and evaluation mechanisms to devise learning frameworks with high impact on students' performance. This article describes an instructional method to perform Newtonian physics…

Pirinelli, Alyssa L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A process for generating and writing an individual research proposal with or without access to advanced experimental techniques is described herein. This process was first included in a glycoconjugate biochemistry course to increase student interaction with more areas of the field, but the process was designed to be applicable elsewhere as well.…

Lynch, Hailey N.; Harnage, Austin H.; Liyana Pathiranage, Anuradha – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The aldol condensation reaction is one of the many synthesis reactions carried out in second semester organic chemistry laboratories. This reaction was integrated into a novel experiment requiring students to synthesize dibenzalace tone derivatives using the crossed-aldol condensation by reacting different types of benzaldehyde derivatives with…

Silva, Wenderson R. F.; Suarez, Willian T.; Reis, Ce´sar; dos Santos, Vagner B.; Carvalho, Felipe Andrade; Reis, Efraim L.; Vicentini, Fernando C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper reports the development and application of a low-cost multifunctional webcam spectrophotometer for the conduct of molecular absorption and fluorometric measurements. The equipment, which costs approximately US$20 to be fabricated, consists of a webcam, a diffraction grating, and a slit, all positioned inside an MDF box. Spectral…

Kuntzleman, Thomas S.; Imhoff, Amanda M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This article reports on a new device, called a geyser guide, that allows for quantitative measurements of both bubble sizes and kinetics of foam production in the so-called Diet Coke and Mentos experiment. The device is easily constructed, is made using readily available materials, and allows the experiment to be carried out indoors with no mess.…

Cross, Rod – Physics Education, 2021
A solid ball placed on a rotating turntable is known to roll slowly around a circular path, at a speed 3.5 times slower than the turnable itself. If the ball is located in a straight track across a diameter of the turntable, then it accelerates rapidly to the edge. Both effects were filmed in slow motion using a video camera and a cake decoration…
