An open laboratory with guided discovery experiences significantly improves student attitudes about beginning chemistry when used to supplement course lectures. The exploratory concept is an incremental approach that does not require significant new equipment, laboratory space, or changes in course materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
