Crosado, Brynley; Löffler, Sabine; Ondruschka, Benjamin; Zhang, Ming; Zwirner, Johann; Hammer, Niels – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Embalming fixatives such as formaldehyde and phenol have been associated with occupational health hazards. While anatomists aim at replacing these chemicals, this seems presently unfeasible in particular for formaldehyde. Furthermore, fixation protocols usually require well-equipped facilities with highly experienced staff to achieve good fixation…

Brannon, Jacob P.; Ramirez, Isaac; Williams, DaShawn; Barding, Gregory A., Jr.; Liu, Yan; McCulloch, Kathryn M.; Chandrasekaran, Perumalreddy; Stieber, S. Chantal E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Experimental methods for determining 3-D atomic structures, such as crystallography, are rarely taught in the undergraduate curriculum, yet are considered to be the norm for 3-D structure determination in a research setting. Although a fully physical understanding of crystallography takes years of practice, practical applications and basic…

Porter – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
For close to 2 years, we have witnessed the impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on research at several different levels. Among the list, limited access to laboratory-based training for undergraduate students prevented this cohort from gaining exposure to the realities of a research laboratory at a critical time in training when they may have found…

Eich, Elizabeth; Catanese, Daniel J., Jr.; King, Brian; Beier, Margaret E. – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasingly popular, but less often implemented in core laboratory courses due to the strict learning objectives necessary for follow-on courses. A curricular core intermediate-level experimental biosciences laboratory course was implemented, which paired competency-based assignments…

Flagge, Ashley G.; Estis, Julie M. – Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders, 2022
Students in undergraduate Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) programs with an interest in audiology often report feeling unprepared to make career and graduate school decisions due to a lack of exposure to the field. The present study examines the impact of near-peer mentoring and hands-on lab experiences on undergraduate student…

Jolanda Hermanns; Lisa Zo¨llner; Clara Filschke – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The laboratory course in organic chemistry for preservice chemistry teachers has been designed anew. For the course, only 2 weeks (8 h a day) are available. Therefore, we wanted to use this time effectively, which led to the following main goals: the students should achieve practical skills, understand the practical procedures they had to conduct,…

Goeltz, John C.; Cuevas, Lia A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Acid-base titration laboratories are perennially offered to general chemistry students in preparation for summative assessments of their hands-on and quantitative skills in the field. Here, we present a guided inquiry-based activity focused on total titratable acidity (TTA) as alternative to standard "cookbook" titration laboratory work.…

A fluorometer is a device that measures the spectroscopic properties of fluorescent materials, and fluorometry is used widely in chemistry research settings to characterize fluorescent samples. One of the obstacles faced by undergraduate programs looking to implement fluorometer-based experiments into their laboratory curriculum is the high cost…

Büdy, Beatrix – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A case study of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact in a nonmajor chemistry class is presented. The prepandemic student engagement strategy focused on student identity within the microcommunity of the face-to-face class. The sudden switch to online instruction mandated a series of changes. Topic-specific adjustments were made within the broader frame…

Hannah Jardine; Gavin Frome; Elizabeth Griffith – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2023
The most effective teaching and learning environments are those in which students are involved as active partners with faculty, and the greatest impact occurs when faculty go beyond asking students for feedback and instead involve them in design, production, and implementation. In this paper, we explore the process of student-faculty co-creation…

Niu Huang; Chao Li; Shili Gan; Cancan Le; Huan Liu; Wei Liu; Liqun Ye – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
With the benefits of low cost, energy efficiency, and environmental protection, photocatalytic hydrogen production is considered to be the most promising technology for the development of a clean and sustainable society. However, the utilization of photocatalytically generated hydrogen is not very common yet. Therefore, tertiary education urgently…

Vié, Clotilde; Fattaccioli, Jacques; Jacq, Philippe – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
This activity introduces droplet-based millifluidics and the usage of aqueous droplets as independent chemical microreactors for reaction-kinetics studies. Students build their own droplet generators from common macroscopic glassware and connecting parts to create trains of millimeter-sized droplets in which a redox reaction takes place. The…

Rioux, Pierre; Blier, Pierre – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2021
Students in environmental sciences, ecology, or wildlife management are often reluctant to acquire training in basic laboratory techniques. To advocate the importance of this training, we reviewed literature in the fields of biological and environmental science for one frequently used technique--centrifugation--and evaluated whether centrifugation…

Harwood, Cynthia J.; Hewett, Sarah; Towns, Marcy H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This communicaton shares with the chemistry education community the rubrics used to evaluate student videos associated with using a pipet, using a buret, and making a solution in a volumetric flask that were part of a digital badging project. The rubrics were used across multiple general chemistry courses, hundreds of teaching assistants, and…

Periyannan, Gopal R. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Technique-centered biochemistry or molecular biology undergraduate laboratory curricula do not offer significant opportunities for thoughtful, in-depth exploration of the science to foster investigative learning. To demonstrate inclusion of inquiry-driven laboratory experiments into the undergraduate biochemistry and molecular biology curricula, a…
