Abstract
Calculator-based laboratory (CBL) technology can be used to initiate a viable undergraduate research program and at the same time teach ethical behavior in science and research. One research project, utilizing buckminsterfullerene, is described as a prototype of the quality and scope of such chemical research programs. Eight original research project ideas are presented for undergraduates to pursue using readily available materials and pH, colorimeter, relative humidity, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, and dissolved oxygen probes.

Julie B. Ealy , Alexandra Rodriguez Negron , Jessica Stephens , and Rebecca Stauffer , Stanley D. FurrowJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (12), 1965Research on the glyoxal clock reaction has led to adaptation of the clock reaction to a general chemistry experiment. This particular reaction is just one of many that used formaldehyde in the past. The kinetics of the glyoxal clock makes the reaction ...
