This thesis resulted from analysis of the water in Lake Wichita so that sources of water content could be determined.

The water which supplies the city of Henrietta, Clay County, Texas, is obtained from the Little Wichita River. A concrete dam was built across the river at a point about a mile and a half north of town.

This thesis describes the creation of substituted diphenylacetic acids and their results.

This thesis describes the process of synthesizing 5-substituted-mercapto derivatives of hydantoin in which the sulfur of the side chain is attached directly to the hydantoin nucleus.

This study explores the synthesis and reduction of some n-phenacylpyridines and is an investigation of various derivatives.

The object of this paper is to make an analysis of the mineral and food content of the peanut and to compare them with a balanced food.

This study is the result of tests conducted to determine the adaptability of the human eye to darkness.

The unified learning model (ULM) focuses on students' engagement, motivation, prior knowledge, and working memory. This study employs the use of video games to assess students' learning through a 3D chemistry gaming environment. In this human-subjects research, students carried out missions and applied reasoning to solve problems appropriate for general chemistry content. For learning to occur, students must be engaged and motivated as stated in the ULM. Learning cannot necessarily be accomplished by experience alone, and critical thinking is required to turn the experience into learning. The interpretation of educational theory applied to video games and this proposed study are discussed. A moderately positive correlation was found between exam score and study time (playing the game). Essentially the more time spent playing the game or an online activity the higher the exam scores. There was an alpha level less than 0.05 (p < 0.05) between the experimental group and non-traditional group (no game or online activity). Supporting that there was a statistically significant difference between groups, the null hypothesis was accepted between the game and online activity. Furthermore, as stated under the ULM, engagement is necessary for optimal learning.
