Noël, Geoffroy P. J. C.; Heron, Julia; Naismith, Carly – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
McGill University has continued to maintain whole body dissection as an integral component of its medical school curriculum. To better explore the factors influencing body procurement at McGill University, records of body receipts were collected from their paper and electronic records and analyzed from 1883 to 2019. The data collected allowed for…

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,…

Chen, Audrey; Tarapore, Eric; To, Allisen G.; Catolico, Davis M.; Nguyen, Kelly C.; Coleman, Melissa J.; Spence, Rory D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
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.…

Flaherty, Aishling – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Engaging in laboratory practical activities, developing laboratory practical skills, and, to a degree, even wearing laboratory protective equipment such as safety coats and goggles are all quintessential components of chemistry education. It is becoming quite common for institutions to invest in large-scale chemistry teaching laboratories, filling…

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…

Pfaender, J.; Gratton, L. M.; Rosi, T.; Onorato, P.; Malgieri, M. – Physics Teacher, 2022
In the last decades spectroscopy began to play an essential role in physics education research with the recognition that atomic spectra constitute a good occasion to study the concepts of quantum mechanics. Moreover, activities in which atomic spectra are studied in order to understand star structure and evolution have proved particularly engaging…

Moya, Antonio Angel – Physics Teacher, 2022
Resistor--capacitor (RC) circuit labs help students, but most courses don't include them because of complications and cost. This work presents an easy and inexpensive Arduino-based lab on the charge and energy transfer between two capacitors with different values of the initial electric charge when they are connected through a resistor. Capacitors…

Aji, Mahardika Prasetya; Wulandari, Yuvita Kiki; Setiawan, Rudi; Karunawan, Jotti; Priyanto, Aan – Physics Education, 2022
In diffraction experiments, natural gratings often create uncommon diffraction patterns compared with those resulting from manufactured gratings. This study analyzed a unique diffraction pattern obtained by a grating from a flying termite wing. A ring-like diffraction pattern was formed because of the grating morphology from a flying termite wing,…

John Findura – Learning Assistance Review, 2022
Using a qualitative approach based on grounded theory, this study explored the best practices of educational technology implementation in 2-year community college writing centers utilizing interviews with writing center administrators. Sociocultural development theory, as well as social learning theory, were applied to frame the results. Each…

Rachel D. Davidson; Thomas E. O'Loughlin; Theodore E. G. Alivio; Soon-Mi Lim; Sarbajit Banerjee – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In this laboratory experiment, students modify a series of surfaces and explore the effects of varying surface chemistry and texture on wettability by different probe liquids. Students begin by building a simple contact angle goniometer utilizing their mobile phone cameras. Next, they contrast the wettability of planar glass substrates…

Patrick I. T. Thomson; Paul Lamie – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This work further implements the "elements of inquiry" approach in a first-year undergraduate laboratory course, in a two-part inquiry sequence. In the first part of the sequence, students iteratively develop a "best-practice" TLC procedure. In the second part, students iteratively optimize a simple organic reaction using TLC,…

del Rosario Cappellari, Lorena; Chiappero, Julieta; Banchio, Erika – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Rhizobacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth are referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, and this can stimulate plant growth either indirectly or directly. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by rhizobacteria have the capacity to promote plant growth as well as perform biocontrol of fungal pathogens. The…

Ortiz Lechuga, Eugenia Guadalupe; Tovar Herrera, Omar Eduardo; Arévalo Niño, Katiushka – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
In this work, we present the results of an undergrad student from the perspective of its first approach as a principal researcher in a project. In order to gain practical experience, one of the options for students that have interest in pursuing a postgraduate program corresponds to a research stay in a laboratory of their selected field…

Yearty, Kasey L.; Glessner, Caroline E.; Morrison, Richard W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Single-outcome experiments are used in the undergraduate instructional laboratory, particularly for large lectures associated with multiple sections of instructional laboratories, due in large part to efficiencies associated with chemical purchases, experiment preparations, and assessments. Despite the practical advantages, single-outcome…

Khoa, Dinh Xuan; Bang, Nguyen Huy – Physics Teacher, 2019
We constructed a low-cost experimental kit consisting of a compact 532-nm diode laser, optics, and optomechanical components that arrange on a small honeycomb breadboard. The kit is flexible enough to construct five typical wave optic experiments, e.g., double-slit interference, Michelson and Mach-Zehnder interferometers, diffraction, and Malus's…
