A green chemistry experiment is presented for teaching an undergraduate quantitative analysis/analytical chemistry laboratory class through the use of black tea leaf extract for the determination of iron in supplement tablets. Dried tea leaf is a safe, low cost, and widely available source of natural extract that can be used in place of more toxic…

Instead of solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the damped simple harmonic motion (SHM) is surveyed qualitatively from basic mechanics and quantitatively by the instrumentality of a graph of velocity against displacement. In this way, the condition b ? [square root]4mk for the occurrence of the non-oscillating critical damping and…

We would like to share with you our ongoing experiences with "hands-on statistics" lessons we have recently carried out. We have developed a new experimental path for teaching young students using fundamental concepts of "statistics": uncertainty of the measurement, the uncertainty of the mean, the mean itself, etc. The methods…
