Investigation of shock-induced chemical decomposition of sensitized nitromethane through time-resolved Raman spectroscopy
(1996)
Molecular processes associated with shock induced chemical decomposition of a mixture of nitromethane with ethylenediamine (0.1 wt%) are examined using time-resolved, Raman scattering. When shocked by stepwise loading to ...
Investigating middle school students' ability to develop energy as a framework for analyzing simple physical phenomenaJournal of Research in Science Teaching
(2016)
We investigated whether it is possible for 12-year-old students to develop a qualitative conceptualization of energy and four associate features (forms of energy, transfer processes, conservation, and degradation) as a ...
