Nicholas Griffin; Marshall Ritchie; Tyler Lynn; Kate Dear; Tyler Christian John Deutsch; Leigha Dillard; Kenneth Overway; Barnabas Otoo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Owing to the critical role of stereochemistry in biotechnology, medicine, and industry, it must be well represented in undergraduate lab curricula. To achieve these stereochemical laboratory requirements without sacrificing existing lab techniques, we modified two standard laboratory experiments to include chiral GC analysis as follows. (1) The…

Ilana J. P. Molesky; Michael W. Zuerch; Anne M. Baranger; Stephen R. Leone – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Ultrafast laser pump-probe spectroscopy is an important and growing field of physical chemistry that allows the measurement of chemical dynamics on their natural time scales, but undergraduate laboratory courses lack examples of such spectroscopy and the interpretation of the dynamics that occur. Here we develop and implement an ultrafast…

Anoshia Khan; Cristina Altamirano; Yousuf Khan; Haroon Saeed; Tyler Moreira; Troy T. Handlovic; Mohammed R. Elshaer; Justin A. Bogart – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Many of the current synthetic methodologies utilized within academic and industrial laboratories require knowledge of how to safely handle air- and moisture-sensitive reagents and work under inert atmospheres. As a result, the ACS Committee on Professional Training recommends incorporating synthetic methods that make use of these inert atmospheres…

Simbarashe Nkomo; Alia Bly – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In undergraduate science education, laboratory courses stand as essential cornerstones of experiential learning. Chemistry laboratory courses offer students unique hands-on experiences that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The journey through the undergraduate chemistry curriculum is paved with a series of…

Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…

Lagares, Antonio, Jr.; Garavaglia, Matías Javier; Robledo, Natalia Belén; Valverde, Claudio; Goñi, Sandra Elizabeth; Lozano, Mario Enrique – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Regulation is a key concept for understanding the dynamics of metabolism in bacteria. This report outlines a simple laboratory experiment aimed at studying a key form of regulation in bacterial metabolism, exemplifying how microbes switch the flux of carbon towards alternative metabolic fates as a function of nutrient availability and according to…

Gerard G. Dumancas; Noemi Carreto; Oliver Generalao; Guoyi Ke; Ghalib Bello; Arnold Lubguban; Roberto Malaluan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemometric techniques such as partial least-squares (PLS) regression have been applied with huge success to a wide array of chemical problems including multicomponent analysis of analytes in complex mixtures. Despite this, there are few examples of laboratory pedagogical exercises that involve students in the acquisition of chemical data from…

Vaclav Matousek; Radek Matuska; Tomas Vranka; Martin Adamec; Tadeas Herentin; Jiri Kalacek; Jan Havlik – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Triboluminescence is a fascinating phenomenon that can engage students' interest in chemistry. However, safe, cost-effective, and accessible laboratory experiments featuring highly triboluminescent substances are limited. To bridge this gap, we present a simple, rapid, semimicro test tube preparation of the visually engaging manganese complex…
