Direct linkSutton, Sarah C.; Cleland, Walter E.; Hammer, Nathan I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
This advanced undergraduate chemistry laboratory exercise takes advantage of the unique spectroscopic properties of the free radical chlorine dioxide to allow for a direct comparison of its symmetric stretch in both the ground and excited states. It incorporates several subject areas covered in an undergraduate chemistry degree (synthesis,…

George, Danielle J.; Hammer, Nathan I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
This undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory exercise introduces students to the study of probability distributions both experimentally and using computer simulations. Students perform the classic coin toss experiment individually and then pool all of their data together to study the effect of experimental sample size on the binomial…

Frey, E. Ramsey; Sygula, Andrzej; Hammer, Nathan I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
This laboratory exercise introduces undergraduate chemistry majors to the spectroscopic and theoretical study of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), corannulene. Students explore the spectroscopic properties of corannulene using UV-vis and Raman vibrational spectroscopies. They compare their experimental results to simulated vibrational…

Cwikla, Julie; Milroy, Scott; Reider, David; Skelton, Tara – American Biology Teacher, 2014
Pioneering Mars: Turning the Red Planet Green with the Earth's Smallest Settlers (http://pioneeringmars.org) provides a partnership model for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning that brings university scientists together with high school students to investigate whether cyanobacteria from Antarctica could survive on…

Jones, Gordon E. – 1986
A course was developed to help science teachers in Mississippi teach physics. Most of those teaching the subject were inexperienced in physics, had limited background in the subject, and were in need of help. The course provided these teachers with a deeper understanding of physics principles, emphasized problem-solving strategies, and included…

Wiygul, Sherrill M.; Gifford, Vernon – 1987
To investigate the effect of outside help in executing a successful science fair project, surveys were distributed to 356 participants in the 1987 Mississippi Region V Science Fair. Of this number, 147 students were in grades 7 and 8, 136 in grades 9 and 10, and 73 in grades 11 and 12. Students listed the number of hours they spent using outside…
