Nida, Safwatun; Marsuki, Muhammad Fajar; Eilks, Ingo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper presents a case study examining the current controversial issue of palm oil production for manufacturing biodiesel in Indonesia. The study looks at how this issue was used as a context to teach chemistry at the undergraduate level. The lesson unit promotes general educational skills, which students need to develop in order to become…

Heidbrink, Amber; Weinrich, Melissa – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Many studies in science education research have found metacognition to be beneficial for undergraduate STEM students. Students do not necessarily know how to employ their metacognition without some training or prompting, and undergraduate chemistry instructors do not always have the capacity to instruct their students on metacognition. Thus, it…

Lafuente, Deborah; Cohen, Brenda; Fiorini, Guillermo; Garci´a, Agusti´n Alejo; Bringas, Mauro; Morzan, Ezequiel; Onna, Diego – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Machine learning, a subdomain of artificial intelligence, is a widespread technology that is molding how chemists interact with data. Therefore, it is a relevant skill to incorporate into the toolbox of any chemistry student. This work presents a workshop that introduces machine learning for chemistry students based on a set of Python notebooks…

Rana, Azeem; Jillani, Shehzada Muhammad Sajid; Alhooshani, Khalid – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Water analysis is an excellent interdisciplinary topic for project-based learning. An undergraduate course was designed to engage the senior undergraduate chemistry students in a real-life experience. In this course, students developed methodologies based on published American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods for the measurement of…

Groover, Sharon; Legleiter, Justin; Battin, Erin E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Traditional undergraduate biochemical laboratory curricula are confronted with challenges in improving student-learning outcomes while incorporating exciting and thought-provoking research-based laboratories due to limitations with time, increased student enrollment, and high-cost laboratory resources. However, with specialized biochemical…

Loughlin, Wendy A.; Cresswell, Sarah L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Students in advanced undergraduate chemistry laboratories are required to undertake a wide range of complex and multistep syntheses and analytical procedures, and prospective employers of chemistry graduates seek students with proven skills in these areas. Our approach has been to use video resources which are made available to students both ahead…

Zhang, Chang-Dong; Hu, Xin-Yuan; Wang, Huai-Song; Yan, Fang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A comprehensive undergraduate experiment about extraction, separation, and identification of essential oils (EOs) from a natural plant is described. "Acori tatarinowii" Rhizoma (ATR) was used as the raw plant material. Two devices (Soxhlet and Clevenger) with different extraction principles were employed for EO extraction from ATR,…

Connor, Megan C.; Glass, Benjamin H.; Shultz, Ginger V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra are among the most common visualizations used by chemists in both academic and industrial settings, where they serve as both representations of submicroscopic entities and tools that support social discourse. The ability to use words to communicate about features within NMR spectra is thus an essential…

Parker, Andrew K.; Danielson, Emily T.; Black, Shaun D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Nanochemistry is an important aspect of modern chemical science. Though few educational institutions teach nanochemistry as a formal course, general exposure of students to nanoscience is yet important. Thus, we present a nanochemical activity that could be used as part of many chemistry courses or laboratories based on ChemToy2. This activity is…

Neiles, Kelly Y.; Arnett, Katy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Backward Design is a well-known method for curricular development in which an instructor first identifies desired learning ends and then "works backwards" to determine the necessary means to these ends. Unfortunately, its use in the design of undergraduate chemistry curricular components is not necessarily widespread. This paper will…

Nicastri, Kate A.; Hill, Nicholas J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A laboratory project to introduce upper-level undergraduates to Pd-catalyzed C-N [sigma]-bond forming reactions is described. The exercise involves evaluation of monodentate phosphine ligands and solvents for the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling of 4-chloro-or 4-bromo-anisole with morpholine. Students gain experience in the synthesis of a biarylphosphine…

Herrmann, Kayleigh M.; Murnane, Robert; Brucoli, Federico – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This undergraduate dissertation project was designed to enhance organic and analytical chemistry skills of final year forensic science students. A modified Birch reaction method was employed to synthesize amphetamine from ephedrine and detect the most known byproduct of clandestine manufacture of amphetamines, e.g.,…

Spitha, Natalia; Doolittle, Pamela S.; Buchberger, Amanda R.; Pazicni, Samuel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The Beer-Lambert law is a core spectroscopic relationship widely used across the undergraduate chemistry curriculum and beyond. The derivation of this model is a common topic for upper-level chemistry courses. But, due to its abstract nature, this derivation can often seem like a mathematical exercise detached from the molecular origins of…
