K. Fernando, L. S. Lanka; Perera, L. Hasini R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
During the 1960s, Edgar Dale published the concept that learners are likely to retain more information if they see and hear information rather than just listen. Therefore, many educational applications have been created for students to learn theoretical concepts through visuals and in an interactive manner. Microsoft (MS) Excel has been used in…

Meelapsom, Rattapol; Rattanakaroonjit, Waranphat; Prakobkij, Akarapong; Malahom, Nutthaporn; Supasorn, Saksri; Ruangchai, Sukhum; Jarujamrus, Purim – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The present work describes a simple hands-on experiment kit for colorimetric quantification of ferric (III) ion (Fe[superscript 3+]) in an aqueous medium using anthocyanin extracted from "Ruellia tuberosa" L. as a green indicator. The extraction of a high amount of anthocyanin was easily accomplished by using only hot water instead of an…

Manninen, Marianna; Vesterinen, Veli-Matti; Vainio, Anna-Kaisa; Korhonen, Heidi; Karonen, Maarit; Salminen, Juha-Pekka – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Plants encounter several different threats that affect their well-being during the spring. With chemistry, plants may defend themselves from, for example, excess UV-radiation and herbivores. The defense compounds between plant species vary, which makes it possible to utilize chemistry in identifying the plant species. In this laboratory…

Bindel, Thomas H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
An instructional approach is presented for teaching the mole concept to high school introductory-level chemistry classes. Extensions to the strategy are presented for more advanced classes. The strength of the approach is based upon discovery. Students discover the Avogadro number and the mole concept. The discovery is based upon calculations that…

Crowe, Charles D.; Hendrickson-Stives, Albanie K.; Kuhn, Stephanie L.; Jackson, Jennifer B.; Keating, Christine D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The interaction between water and surfaces is observed in our daily lives and is used in laboratories to study materials properties, such as interfacial tension. Making the connection between fundamental scientific phenomena and everyday observations is a powerful method of highlighting the importance and relevance of science to the K-12…

Grooms, Jonathon; Fleming, Kevin; Berkowitz, Alan R.; Caplan, Bess – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Rarely are scientific phenomena isolated to a single discipline such as biology, chemistry, physics, Earth science, or others. Rather, these phenomena span multiple disciplines and often require bringing together content and understandings from multiple disciplines to engage with or explain the target phenomena. This study uses a model-based…

Aftenieva, Olha; Schletz, Daniel; Meyer, Antonia; Ku¨hne, Tino; Schmalzriedt, Sierk; Niethammer, Manuela; Ko¨nig, Tobias A. F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In contrast to a macroscopic solid, the color and spectroscopic properties of gold nanoparticles change with size. Here, we propose a teaching platform for high school students (hereafter defined as students, attending secondary school in Europe, preparatory high schools in the US, or any educational institution of a comparable level) that…

Lietard, Aude; Screen, Martin A.; Flindt, Diana L.; Jordan, Caleb J. C.; Robson, Jacquie M.; Verlet, Jan R. R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A dual-function student-crafted instrument is described as part of a laboratory activity aimed to teach both the principles and practical aspects of absorption spectroscopy to secondary and introductory undergraduate students. Using minimal changes in an arrangement that is based on interlocking bricks and low-cost components, both a fluorometer…

Lo´pez-Ferna´ndez, Mari´a del Mar; Gonza´lez-Garci´a, Francisco; Franco-Mariscal, Antonio Joaqui´n – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The social dimension of chemistry is relevant and present in numerous socio-scientific issues, for example, the use of plastics. These issues can be covered at school by implementing strategies such as role-playing, which allow different perspectives to be understood, thereby helping to promote changes in attitude. This paper presents a…

Kodani, Satoki; Koga, Nobuyoshi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A newly developed laboratory learning program for high school chemistry courses is discussed, in which students discover the chemical mechanism governing exothermic phenomena during the reaction between a heating agent, namely, calcium oxide (CaO)--aluminum (Al) mixture, and water. Based on prior knowledge of simple heating agents such as CaO, the…

Pazinato, Maurícius S.; Bernardi, Flávia M.; Miranda, Ana Carolina G.; Braibante, Mara Elisa F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This work aims to evaluate the evolution of chemical bonding concepts of high school students at public schools in southern Brazil. For this, we built the epistemological profile of each student who took part in a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) about this topic, based on the foundations of Bachelard's theory. Following the principles of the…

Molvinger, Karine; Lautier, Gaëtan; Ayral, Rose-Marie – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This article focuses on the case study of the concept of covalent bonding for 10th grade pupils in France. On the basis of their conceptions and difficulties, didactical engineering has been established that should lead to an improvement in the understanding of this concept. After analyzing the pupils' difficulties, we reflected on the…
