A mass spectrometer is a complicated and expensive piece of equipment -- so complicated and so expensive, in fact, that most undergraduate chemistry students never get a chance to use one. Now ...

At $1 million, many schools cannot afford the latest spectrometry equipment to help students conduct experiments such as determining the composition of a polymer, detecting the presence of cocaine in ...

In this collection of lab-based activities, students will learn about the concepts of radiation and half-life in order to gain an understanding of the use of radiocarbon dating as a method of absolute ...

Mass spectrometry and chromatography are analytical tools used in various scientific fields. Mass spectrometry measures the mass-to-charge ratio of a molecule in a sample to calculate the precise ...

Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics through motion experiments, and earth science through field observations. That ...

Mass spectrometry is a laboratory technique which identifies the precise weight of a component in a sample. Metabolomics focuses on measuring the metabolites, the substances made when the body breaks ...

Complex topics can be challenging both for instructors to teach and for students to learn. While instructional strategies have varied over the years, modern computer graphics environments can provide ...

Martina Steiner received funding from ITIF (The University of Toronto Provost’s Instructional Technology Innovation Fund) to study the integration of virtual labs in a graduate course. University of ...
