Research Methods is required for all of the TUteach with Teaching majors. It is one of several content courses specially designed to meet the needs of future teachers. Sections meet two hours per week for non-traditional, interactive lectures and two hours per week for lab. The course is cross-listed in Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, and Physics. The goals of the course are (1) to provide students with the tools that scientists use to solve scientific problems; (2) to give students the opportunity to use these tools in a laboratory setting; (3) to make students aware of how scientists communicate with each other through peer-reviewed scientific literature; and (4) to enable students to understand how scientists develop new knowledge and insights, the most important of which are eventually presented in textbooks and taught in conventional science classes. Students design and carry out four independent inquiries, which they write up and present in the manner that is common in the scientific community. The inquiries incorporate mathematics and the various science disciplines, thus the team of instructors teaching this course have expertise in different disciplines and are available to supervise all students as they work on their inquiries in the lab. The combination of Research Methods and the TUteach course “Perspectives on Science and Mathematics” (Philosophy 2196) provides prospective science and mathematics teachers with an in-depth understanding of how the scientific enterprise works.

1.00 Credits
Introduction to the application of instrumental analytical methods, with particular emphasis on equilibria and acid-base techniques. Written scientific reports will require a quantitative analysis of collected data, including statistics and error analyses. Note: Enrollment limited to students with declared concentration in chemistry or biochemistry.
Prerequisite:
C- or higher in one of the following: CHEM 1032 (C072), 1042 (C082) or 1952 (H092) as well as C- or higher in one of the following: CHEM 1034 (C074), 1044 (C084), or 1954 (H094). C or higher in MATH 1042 (0086)
Corequisite:
CHEM 3103 (0215)
-
3.00 Credits
Chemistry 3301 (0231) provides the foundation essential for most higher-level work in chemistry. Topics covered include thermodynamics, phase equilibria, chemical equilibria, kinetic theory of gases, chemical kinetics, and equilibrium electrochemistry.
Prerequisite:
C- or higher in CHEM 1032 (C072) or 1042 (C082) or 1952 (H092), and C or higher in MATH 1042 (0086), and C- or higher in PHYSICS 1061 (C087) or 2021 (0121)
Corequisite:
MATH 2043 (0127) and PHYSICS 1062 (C088) or 2022 (0122)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to quantum mechanics and spectroscopy. Note: Although it is recommended that physical chemistry courses be taken in sequence [i.e., 3301 (0231) followed by 3302 (0232)], this course may be taken prior to Chemistry 3301 (0231).
Prerequisite:
C- or higher in CHEM 1032 (C072) or 1042 (C082) or 1952 (H092), C or higher in MATH 1042 (0086), and C- or higher in PHYSICS 1061 (C087) or 2021 (0121)
Corequisite:
MATH 2043 (0127) and PHYSICS 1062 (C088) or 2022 (0122)

3.00 Credits
Individual independent study and research at Temple University outside of the Chemistry Department or an off-campus laboratory facility under joint supervision of a member of the Temple Chemistry faculty and a Research Director at the laboratory facility. Students enrolled in this course will also meet as a group with the Undergraduate Research Program Director for one hour per week. Open to junior and senior chemistry and biochemistry majors, others with departmental approval. Credit may be offered for research during full-time off-campus employment. A final written report, endorsed by the off-campus research director, will be submitted to the Temple faculty member, who will forward a copy to the department’s Undergraduate Research Program Director on behalf of the Undergraduate Committee. Students are responsible for arranging their programs and submitting reports with lead-time sufficient that registration and grading can be accomplished normally. Note: For further information and details, contact the Undergraduate Research Coordinator. Biochemistry Majors will have to take CHEM 3881 twice to have it satisfy the Advanced Science elective in the major.
Prerequisite:
Written permission from the faculty member who will be responsible for the student’s program and written approval of the departmental undergraduate curriculum committee. Students must have a cumulative average of 2.75 or higher

Students are responsible for arranging their program and submitting reports with lead-time sufficient that registration and grading can be accomplished normally. Note: For further information and details, contact the Undergraduate Research Coordinator. Only 1 of these 2 courses [Chemistry 3891 (0293) and 4891 (0297)] can count as 1 of the 3 advanced laboratory courses required for the degree to be certified by the American Chemical Society and as an advanced science course for the Chemistry B.A. or B.S. degree. It will not fulfill an advanced Chemistry course for the Chemistry B.A. or B.S. degree. This course is repeatable for credit.
Prerequisite:
Students must have completed 60.0 or more credits. Written permission from the faculty member who will be responsible for the student’s program and written approval of the departmental undergraduate curriculum committee. Students must have a cumulative average of 2.75 or higher
