Buck, Gregory W.; Chelikowsky, Derrick J.; Doyungan, Stella M.; Tahtamouni, Mohammad Emad; Turner, Jeffrey W. – Distance Learning, 2023
Due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), universities were restricted from gathering students for in-person instruction, especially teaching hands-on techniques in microbiology laboratory courses. This report describes how a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) transitioned to remote learning for microbiology laboratories through a model, PRUTE,…

Wagoner, Kasey; Hynes, K. Mairin; Flanagan, Daniel – Physics Teacher, 2018
Introductory physics labs often focus on a series of common experiments intending to teach the student the measurement side of physics. While these experiments have the potential to be quite instructive, we observed that our students often consider them to be boring and monotonous, which often leads to them being uninstructive. To combat this, we…

Winkelmann, Kurt; Bernas, Leonard; Swiger, Brendan; Brown, Shannon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
A two-week experiment is presented in which students can observe the impact of nanoparticles on the concentration of chlorophyll in plants. First-year students in an introductory nanotechnology laboratory course and a general chemistry laboratory course synthesized silver nanoparticles and then exposed stalks of "Egeria densa" ("E.…

Costa, Manuel Joao – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2010
Laboratory exercises (labs) are sometimes regarded as dispensable in biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB) education for various reasons including a combination of increased class costs and small budget allocations, pressing demands for more time to lecture to fit in new BMB discoveries within constant time span of courses, and the fact that…

Weinlander, Kenneth M.; Hall, David J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2010
Personalized medicine refers to medical care that involves genetically screening patients for their likelihood to develop various disorders. Commercial genome screening only involves identifying a consumer's genotype for a few single nucleotide polymorphisms. A phenotype (such as an illness) is greatly influenced by three factors: genes, gene…

Grove, Crissie M.; Dixon, Patricia J.; Pop, Margareta M. – Professional Development in Education, 2009
This qualitative study examines one professional development program and how this experience affects teachers' thoughts about planning and science teaching practices specific to the elements focused on during the program. The program supports 13 American K-12 teachers, selected from across the nation, to spend six weeks with a mentor scientist in…
