Abstract
Students are given a list of carbohydrates and a list of references for carbohydrate analysis. The references contain a variety of well-characterized wet chemistry and instrumental techniques for carbohydrate identification, but the students must develop an appropriate sequential protocol for unknown identification. The students are required to provide a list of chemicals and procedures and a flow chart for identification before the lab.

Teaching Reaction Mechanisms Using the Curved Arrow Neglect (CAN) Method
John H. Penn and Abdulrahman G. Al-ShammariJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (9), 1291Teaching Reaction Mechanisms Using the Curved Arrow Neglect (CAN) Method
John H. Penn and Abdulrahman G. Al-ShammariJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (9), 1291A new method for teaching organic reaction mechanisms that can be used in a computer-assisted Instruction (CAI) environment is proposed and tested. The method concentrates on the intermediate structures that are assumed to be on the reaction coordinate ...
CARBOHYDECK: A Card Game To Teach the Stereochemistry of Carbohydrates
Manuel João CostaJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (6), 977CARBOHYDECK: A Card Game To Teach the Stereochemistry of Carbohydrates
Manuel João CostaJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (6), 977Identifying and differentiating monosaccharide isomers is an important educational goal in introductory biochemistry courses. However the topic is difficult for many students—in particular, chemistry nonmajors. This paper describes CARBOHYDECK, a card ...
Incorporating Guided-Inquiry Learning into the Organic Chemistry Laboratory

Randall W. Hall , Leslie G. Butler , Saundra Y. McGuire , Sean P. McGlynn , Gary L. Lyon , Ron L. Reese and Patrick A. LimbachJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (12), 1704Procedures and programs for Web-based homework administration were developed and tested. The special feature of the protocol is the option of a "second chance". When a student gives a wrong answer in the weekly homework assignment, a second version of the ...
Modification of Small-Scale One-Pot Reactions to an Inquiry-Based Laboratory Exercise
C. Jayne WilcoxJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (1), 62Modification of Small-Scale One-Pot Reactions to an Inquiry-Based Laboratory Exercise
C. Jayne WilcoxJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (1), 62I have modified small-scale, one-pot reactions reported in the literature to a guided inquiry approach. These reactions involve aqueous ionic equilibria centered around three different cations. Each cation has its own set of self-contained reactions that ...
