A novel teaching approach is aimed at elucidating the concept of bond enthalpy for general chemistry students. Through the integration of a hands-on candy pulling activity, students in a large lecture class were provided a tangible experience to explore bond strengths using rope candy and a luggage scale. Feedback from students indicated a clear…

It has become increasingly important for microbiology educators to help students learn critical concepts of the discipline. This is particularly true in virology, where current challenges include increasing rates of vaccine hesitancy, misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, and controversy surrounding research on pathogens with pandemic…

Separation of Lycopene via Liquid-Liquid Extraction: An At-Home Experiment in the Kitchen Laboratory
Shengjie Wang; Zhengsheng Zhan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Herein we describe an accessible and safe at-home experiment to separate lycopene from tomatoes via liquid-liquid extraction. As a qualitative experiment, it is a canonically elementary instance for high school students to digest the conception of miscibility, immiscibility, and density difference of the two solvents. This experiment was performed…

Introduction: The replication crisis in the behavioral and social sciences spawned a credibility revolution, calling for new open science research practices that ensure greater transparency, including preregistrations, open data and code, and open access. Statement of the Problem: Replications of published research are an important element in this…

Vanessa Ayer Miller; Timothy Marks; Dorothea K. Thompson – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2025
Interest in virtual laboratory simulations as a pedagogical tool continues to grow, given the advantages of flexibility, scalability, technology integration, and interactive visualizations. We developed a laboratory model that integrates virtual lab simulations (VLS) and traditional in-person (IP) lab experiences for targeted skill development. In…

Chuang Chen; Siti Nazleen Abdul Rabu; Nurullizam Jamiat – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Integrating virtual laboratories (VLs) with science education promotes inquiry-based learning by providing an interactive, dynamic environment in which students actively engage with scientific concepts. While previous research highlights the effectiveness of VLs as tools in the IBL process, few studies have embedded the entire inquiry process…

Öngören, Sema – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2023
This study aims to examine preschool teachers' earth and space science practices and the expected achievements of children in these practices. The research was conducted with a phenomenological pattern. Participants of the study consisted of 28 preschool teachers working in public schools and determined by the criterion sampling method, one of the…

Alexander J. Wright; Dave Colclough; Hazel Harris; Stefano C. G. Biagini – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In this paper, we present a concise and technique-heavy route to the synthesis of dimedone for a second-year organic chemistry curriculum. Our preparation of dimedone guides students through a Michael addition followed by a Dieckmann cyclization, basic ester hydrolysis, and thermal decarboxylation, while allowing time for mechanistic discussion…

Bongani Prince Ndlovu; Elizabeth Mavhunga – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
While the distinction between academic disciplines and school subjects has received some attention, the question of which subject matter content knowledge (CK) teachers need as a foundation for initial teacher development has been raised. In science education, Teacher-related Science Content Knowledge (TerSCK) has been conceptualized to model the…

Frédéric Hapiot; Pierre-Edouard Danjou; François Delattre; Solen Josse; Véronique Bonnet – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
The ability to elucidate the structure of organic compounds from their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and mass spectrometry (MS) spectra is an essential skill, particularly for those engaged in the fields of synthetic and analytical organic chemistry. Spectral analysis constitutes a fundamental component of the curriculum for all…

Neti Wulandari; Wirawan Fadly; Primus Demboh – Journal of Science Learning, 2025
This study investigates the role of environmental insight--defined as students' prior knowledge--and the use of a virtual reality laboratory in exploring celestial bodies and solar system content integrated with Qur'anic science, with a focus on their effects on students' argumentation abilities. The research employs a quasi-experimental design,…

Ravishankar Chatta Subramaniam; Jason W. Morphew; Carina M. Rebello; N. Sanjay Rebello – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Investigating students' thinking in classroom tasks, particularly in science and engineering, is essential for improving educational practices and advancing student learning. In this context, the notion of "Ways of Thinking" (WoT) has gained traction in STEM education, offering a framework to explore how students approach and solve…

Tyler G. Harvey; Delphine Dean – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2025
Challenge: While hands-on laboratory experiences are an important component of biomedical engineering curricula, many of the topics which would often benefit most from these experiences are often too time-, space-, and resource-intensive to incorporate into laboratory classes. One such topic is electrophysiology, where phenomena are hard to…

Vanessa Serrano; Jordi Cuadros; Laura Fernández-Ruano; Javier García-Zubía; Unai Hernández-Jayo; Francesc Lluch – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
In science and engineering education, remote laboratories are designed to bring ubiquity to experimental scenarios, by having real laboratories operated through the Internet. Despite that remote laboratories enable the collection of students' work data, the educational use of these data is still underdeveloped. Learning analytics dashboards are…

High-stakes assessments prominently influence what is done in secondary school science lessons ('washback' effects). It is therefore important that assessments of knowledge and understanding gained from practical work are constructed to reward and incentivise effective practices in practical work. To do that, they must differentiate between pupils…
