method as their preferred technique. They typically estimate the uncertainty in theircount to be +/- 0.5 beats. In addition, students practice their timing technique and estimate theuncertainty of timing due to their response time using the stop watch. This is done using astopwatch to time ten second intervals displayed on an online timing device. With practice,students could typically measure within +/- 0.15 s of the “true” time. An insightful studentrecognizes that the timing device can give a misleading impression of accuracy -- limitations intiming technique introduce a significant uncertainty that exceeds both the published 0.01%accuracy of the device and the ILE of +/- 0.01 s.Students obtain the pulse rate first by measuring the time for

Inaddition, this experiment can be used to obtain thermodynamics data, specifically the enthalpy ofvaporization as well as a portion of the phase diagram for the chosen liquid.In the future I plan to work to improve this experiment. The first problem to explore is that theflask needs to be jostled to maintain boiling, likely due to the surface tension of methanol. Thismight be overcome by either using a shaker table or using a different fluid. In addition, it willlikely be beneficial for students to use addiitonal liquids so that they can build a “consensus” andbe even more convincing that boiling cold is not only possible but quite normal with a widevariety of applications.References[1] T.

offavorite heuristics. For example, “assume the solution is known and try to determine whatproperties it might have” is a commonly used heuristic in many fields (e.g., physics, engineering,etc.)Beginning in the 1970’s, Schoenfeld began teaching mathematical problem solving, and hestarted observing and videotaping students while they struggled to solve different mathematicalproblems. Schoenfeld identified four different components to successful mathematical problemsolving performance3-6, and they are: 1. resources – the mathematical facts and procedures possessed by the problem solver 2. heuristics – problem solving strategies or techniques, 3. control – ability to select and implement the proper resources and strategies, and 4. belief

Aside from their lower cost, the main benefit of these devices is thatthey can be specifically designed for unique applications in the lab. 3D printing also allows theuser to create complex structures and shapes that cannot be fabricated by other traditional methods.
