Ye, Jianqiang; Lu, Shanshan; Bi, Hualin – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
This study uses graphs of conductivity measured by a microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) to promote students' macro, micro, and symbolic representations when learning about net ionic reactions (NIR). A total of 54 students, aged 14-15 years old participated in this research, and were randomly divided into an experimental group (N = 27) and a…

Garcia, Jennifer; Schultz, Linda D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
The classic technique for sulfate analysis in an undergraduate quantitative analysis lab involves precipitation as the barium salt with barium chloride, collection of the precipitate by gravity filtration using ashless filter paper, and removal of the filter paper by charring over a Bunsen burner. The entire process is time-consuming, hazardous,…

Sievers, Dennis, Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1986
Describes apparatus for use in high school chemistry instruction. Provides instructions and lists of materials needed for building a homemade sand bath for use in experiments that demonstrate the slow evaporation of a solvent. Plans for the construction of a low-cost conductivity apparatus are also included. (TW)

Gurses, Ahmet; Acikyildiz, Metin; Dogar, Cetin; Sozbilir, Mustafa – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2007
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a problem-based learning (PBL) approach in a physical chemistry laboratory course. The parameters investigated were students' attitudes towards a chemistry laboratory course, scientific process skills of students and their academic achievement. The design of the study was one group…

Barbarick, K. A.; Ippolito, J. A.; Butters, G.; Sorge, G. M. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2005
One of the largest challenges in teaching introductory soil science is explaining the dynamics of soil infiltration. To aid students in understanding the concept and to further engage them in active learning in the soils laboratory course, we developed an exercise using Decagon Mini-Disk Infiltrometers with a tension head (h[subscript o]) of 2 cm.…
