Abstract
In their study, "Scientific Discovery Learning with Computer Simulations of Concept Domains", Ton de Jong and Wouter van Joolingen review research that addresses the effectiveness of simulations in promoting scientific discovery learning and the problems that learners may encounter as they use discovery learning. This review is important not only for the guidance it provides to designing simulations but also for what it says about students' ability to reason scientifically in general.

A Simple Spreadsheet Program To Simulate and Analyze the Far-UV Circular Dichroism Spectra of Proteins
Luciano A. AbriataJournal of Chemical Education2011 Article ASAPA Simple Spreadsheet Program To Simulate and Analyze the Far-UV Circular Dichroism Spectra of Proteins
Luciano A. AbriataJournal of Chemical Education2011 Article ASAPA simple algorithm was implemented in a spreadsheet program to simulate the circular dichroism spectra of proteins from their secondary structure content and to fit α-helix, β-sheet, and random coil contents from experimental far-UV circular dichroism ...

Agostinho Serrano , Flávia M. T. Santos and Ileana M. GrecaJournal of Chemical Education2004 81 (9), 1322It is shown how basic aspects of ionic solvation structure, a fundamental topic for understanding different concepts and levels of representations of chemical structure and transformation, can be taught with the help of a Monte Carlo simulation package ...
Discovery Videos: A Safe, Tested, Time-Efficient Way To Incorporate Discovery-Laboratory Experiments into the Classroom
Gary Wulfsberg , Lyubov Hoffman Laroche , Barbara YoungJournal of Chemical Education2003 80 (8), 962Discovery Videos: A Safe, Tested, Time-Efficient Way To Incorporate Discovery-Laboratory Experiments into the Classroom
Gary Wulfsberg , Lyubov Hoffman Laroche , Barbara YoungJournal of Chemical Education2003 80 (8), 962When it is infeasible to have students do some experimental parts of discovery laboratory experiments, instructors can demonstrate the reactions for students to evaluate as part of their discovery process. As an alternative to time-consuming and hazardous ...
