beinferred that there was a misconception; that the meaning of supersaturation is that there isexcess solid present as a separate phase in the beaker.Another study by Pinarbasi and Canpolati10 examined students understanding of the termsunsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated. Three schematic diagrams of beakers with waterwere shown to students from which students had to match the appropriate word with thediagram. The unsaturated solution had a low density of dots (sugar molecules dissolved in water)in the beaker (C). The saturated solution had a higher density of dots and also had a smallmound of saturated sugar sitting at the bottom of the beaker (B). The supersaturated solution hadthe highest density of dots but there was no saturated sugar

One of the interesting outcomes is that the students haveexpressed that they enjoy learning from the instructor as well as having some of the reviewsdone by the teacher’s assistant. It seems to be a strong combination to first teach the material,then reinforce it using another student, finally having them put the explanation in the studentsown words. One future goal of this project is to develop a database of

We allowed the students to retake the quiz as many times as they wanted until they got the score they were satisfied with. Most students ended up cycling through the entire pool of questions each week. While this did not force the students to read the entire chapter, at least it helped them read the parts of the book that we thought were the most important by our choice of question. Typical questions are listed below:! 1) To improve the lifetime of a part that experiences fatigue you can: A. Paint the surface B. Lower the mean
