Fabian Fink; Alexander Hoffmann; Sonja Herres-Pawlis – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
As ongoing digitalization accelerates the execution of experiments and the documentation and storage of the corresponding data substantially, appropriate research data management (RDM) is a necessity to enable sustainable research at all. Consequently, a rethinking is currently taking place in academia. This process becomes visible by the…

Juan Torras – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Modeling an inter-ring torsional profile of a simple2,2'-bithiophenemolecule has been used to illustrate the main concepts associated with basic molecular modeling within an introductory course in a master's degree on computational modeling. The methodology proposed in the activity has been used to guide and train the student along the classical…

Konkankit, Chilaluck C.; Marker, Sierra C.; Bigham, Nicholas P.; Dale, Darren S.; Zax, David B.; Lorey, Daniel R., II; Wilson, Justin J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
There currently exists a significant deficiency in the nuclear chemistry workforce within the United States, despite its importance in areas of medicine, national security, and energy. Poor coverage of this topic across many chemistry departments at the undergraduate level likely contributes to this shortage. Increasing interest and hands-on…

Ji, Xuan; Liu, Xiaomei; Li, Muzi; Shao, Songxue; Chang, Jing; Du, Jing; Ma, Xiaofei; Feng, Xia; Zhu, Lina; Yu, Xi; Hu, Wenping – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
As simple and ubiquitous redox-active organic molecules, quinones participate in diverse electron transfer processes in chemistry and biological systems for energy transformation and signal transduction. We introduce here a practical exercise to study the redox potentials of benzoquinone and its two derivatives by combining the electrochemistry…

Den Auwer, Christophe; Bayle, Simon; Beccia, Maria Rosa; Bosio, Sandra; Creff, Gaëlle; Jeanson, Aurélie; Michel, Hervé; Pitiot, Christophe; Zurita, Cyril – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
As part of their third-year general chemistry program, students at the University of the Côte d'Azur are taught the basics of radioactivity. The view that third-year university students have of the periodic Table of the Elements is often reduced because it ignores the vast majority of isotopes. As part of this program, a practicum devoted to the…

Listiaji, Prasetyo – Physics Education, 2022
The current pandemic era demands distance learning, including physics experiments on the topic of optics. One of the optical phenomena that needs to be explained in optic courses is fluorescence. This study offers a simple home experiment regarding the application of fluorescence, namely to identify the purity of olive oil using simple…

Tham, Claire; Yeo, Robin; Natarajan, Visshal; Zhang, Tianqin; Chen, Jer-Ming; Krishnaswamy, Lakshminarasimhan; Tan, Da Yang – Physics Teacher, 2022
In this article, we demonstrate the use of a simple pendulum to explore the concepts of kinematics and dynamics. A simple homemade pendulum and a phone-based accelerometer are used to determine, at various points in time, the acceleration of a moving train. The dynamical and kinematics data from the homemade pendulum and the accelerator can then…

Giulotto, Enrico; Malgieri, Massimiliano – Physics Education, 2022
The distinction between pressure in a liquid and in a gas is often treated in a cursory way, or not treated at all, even in university level textbooks. Most texts fail to point out the relation between pressure and density in a gas as compared to pressure in a--virtually incompressible--liquid. In many instances this also results in a dismissive…

Baken, Erica K.; Adams, Dean C.; Rentz, Michael S. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Complementing biology lecture courses with laboratory sections is nearly universal at undergraduate institutions, yet many topics in biology do not easily lend themselves to experiment-based laboratory activities. Topics such as comparative anatomy, evolution and systematics are often taught as passive, observation-based laboratories. In this…

Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid; Maarten Nachtegaal; Oliver Kro¨cher; Davide Ferri – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and catalysis represent two of the most practically relevant topics in chemistry, but they are normally taught in separate contexts at the undergraduate level. Although IR spectroscopy is introduced to students as a tool for organic compound characterization, it also finds wide applicability in the investigation of…

Oxidation reactions are critical components of the synthetic toolbox taught to undergraduate students during introductory organic chemistry courses. However, the oxidation reactions discussed in the undergraduate curriculum are often outdated as many organic chemistry textbooks emphasize chromium-based oxidants that are no longer in regular use by…

Michael J. James; George E. Clarke; Charlotte Lee; Ian J. S. Fairlamb – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A laboratory experiment has been devised to train new graduate trainees in the safe and controlled handling of air-sensitive organometallic reagents using Schlenk lines, high vacuum pumps, liquid nitrogen traps, and cannula transfers. The reaction involves the formation of air-, moisture-, and thermally sensitive 2-pyridyllithium, generated in…

Munukutla, Srikar; Bertoy, Alec; Rush, Stephen; Ramamoorthy, Ayyalusamy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The NMR spectrometer is a commonly used spectroscopic instrument that records resonance frequencies of nuclei present in molecular systems. While the NMR frequencies fall within the radio frequency regime for a given molecular system, they are presented in terms of chemical shifts in the audio frequency regime, thereby having the versatility to be…

Greenslade, Thomas B., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 2022
This article is about a famous physics course taken by thousands of students at Amherst College in the 1950s, designed and taught by its distinguished instructor, Arnold B. Arons. There are very few of us left who have taken the course. The youngest one would be, as the course was discontinued in 1968, about 72 years old!
