Kevin H. Hunter; Jon-Marc G. Rodriguez; Nicole M. Becker – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
We review the literature, from 2006 to 2020, focused on the teaching and learning of chemical bonding. The studies included in our review (48 studies set in 19 different countries overall) involved secondary and postsecondary students as well as K-12 teachers and university faculty. We synthesize these studies' findings to provide implications for…

Setiaji, Bayu; Santoso, Purwoko Haryadi – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has constituted a sudden educational transformation around the world. It has disrupted instructors, including physics educators, forcing them to adjust to remote teaching. The hands-on laboratory, one of the components of physics instruction, has also had to rapidly go online in all branches of this science, including nuclear…

Hands-on experiences in analytical chemistry laboratories are essential to improve students' technical skills on handling analytical glassware and instruments, but the coronavirus pandemic in 2020-2021 disrupted such learning activities. Thus, alternative remote activities are required to supplement practical skills. In this work, a new portable…

Reyna, Mercedes; Peppino Margutti, Micaela; Vilchez, Ana Carolina; Villasuso, Ana Laura – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Lipidomics is a discipline that focuses on the identification and quantification of lipids. Although a part of the larger omics field, lipidomics requires specific approaches for the analysis and biological interpretation of datasets. This article presents a series of activities for introducing undergraduate microbiology students to lipidomic…

Miranda, Rommel J.; Warren, Cheryl; Mcdougal, Kathryn; Kimble, Steven; Sanchez, Joseph; Norman, Leann; Anderson, Virginia; Hemm, Matthew – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
We developed a curriculum for an upper-level molecular biology course-based undergraduate research laboratory class funded by a National Science Foundation CAREER grant that focuses on identifying new small proteins in the bacterium, "Escherichia coli." Our CURE class has been continually offered each semester for the last 10 years, with…

Yan, Jingmin; Chen, Jiangao; Mao, Xuhu; Li, Qian – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
As a universal and extensively adopted technique, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be used to detect and quantify small molecules in many applications both clinical and analytical. However, generally, students experiment mechanically using commercial ELISA kits according to the instructions and eventually produce a standard curve to…

Mary Jane Brundage; Alysa Malespina; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Collaborative learning with peers can lead to students learning from each other and solving physics problems correctly not only in situations in which one student knows how to solve the problems but also when none of the students can solve the problems alone. We define the rate of construction as the percentage of groups collaborating on problem…

Robin Stoodley; Kerry J. Knox; Elizabeth A. L. Gillis – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Undergraduate chemistry laboratory instruction can be considered from many perspectives and addresses multiple educational aims. We critically assess an inventory of "Cognitive Tasks of Experimental Research" for its applicability to chemistry laboratory teaching, and then apply it to an integrated upper-level laboratory course as an…

Toma, Henrique Eisi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Educational kits can improve the teaching of experimental sciences, providing an interesting strategy to be explored at home, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this sense, chemistry kits based on a microscale design were developed encompassing safety, portability, efficacy, and low cost. They were successfully applied in regular classes…

Verity, Nicole; Ulm, Brittany; Pham, Katrina; Evangelista, Baggio; Borgon, Robert – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Undergraduate laboratory courses are essential to teaching core principles in STEM. This course, Quantitative Biological Methods, provides a unique approach to teaching molecular biology research techniques to students, in a laboratory that is delivered in a sequence that parallels standard biomedical research laboratory protocols. Students attend…

Lindén, Johan; Anttu, Nicklas – Physics Education, 2022
The falling rod paradox, i.e. the fact that the tip of an almost horizontal rod falls with an acceleration 'higher than g', when the other end is hinged or supported, is a popular physics demonstration. It can be visualized by placing e.g. a coin on the tip of the rod and fixing a cup next to the coin. When the rod is released the free-falling…

Terra Marie M. Jouaneh; Margaret E. Rosario; Yibo Li; Elizabeth Leibovitz; Matthew J. Bertin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Growth in the biomedical and biotechnology sectors requires a highly trained and highly skilled workforce to answer the next great scientific questions. Undergraduate laboratory courses incorporating hands-on training based in authentic research position soon-to-be graduates to learn in environments that mirror those of academic, industrial, and…

Keenan E. Dungey; Eric J. Voss; Susan D. Wiediger – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Nanotechnology has been recognized as an important driver of the future economy, and so nanoscience is increasingly being incorporated into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. This experiment includes the chemical synthesis, optical and chemical testing, and microscopic imaging of gold nanoparticles. Since nanoparticles are too small to…

Wehrbein, William M. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Recognized as one of the most beautiful experiments of all time, the oil drop experiment performed by Robert Millikan and his graduate students (primarily Harvey Fletcher) is a standard in the repertoire of experiments performed by undergraduate physics students. However, "as a teaching lab it does not enjoy a good reputation for three…

Ahmed, A. Ait Ben; Touache, A.; ElHakimi, A.; Chamat, A. – Physics Education, 2022
The dynamic study of pendulum systems is considered an indispensable subject for physics and mechanics students in colleges and high schools. In this paper, a detailed methodology is given concerning the use of smartphones in pedagogical practical work for studying the dynamics of pendulum systems. Whereas, three aspects have been discussed…
