Abstract

Cassia tora, is commonly found in Nigeria, it’s annual shrub which grows in a wild land. The plant and its different parts are used for their nutritional and medicinal purposes. In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate nutritional contents, phytochemical analysis and medicainal evaluation of Cassia tora. The crude powder extracts of the leaves of the plants were taken for the study. The phytochemical Screening was done for the selected plants.  Phytochemistry of the plant reveals that Cassia tora contains anthraquinones, protein, carbohydrates, saponins, glycosides, fixed oils and fats. Several chemical contents such asnaphthopyrone glycosides, flavonoids, glycosides, anthraquinone, etc. have beenseparated from this plant. The plants has been found to have hepatoprotective, antigenotoxic, antipsoriatic, antinociceptive, immunostimulatory, anticancerous, antifeedant, larvicidal, antiproliferative, hypolipidemic, antimutagenic activity. It also has a property of mild laxative and diuretics so can be used in constipation, dyspepsia and flatulence. Its decoction is used for healing and washing of wounds.

Abstract

Visual cognitive representation of chemical structures and composition is achieved when proper visualization is made by chemistry students. It is in respect this that, this study measured the students’ visualization skills in chemical bonding through three dimension: a study on secondary school chemistry students. The study adopted quasi-experimental group design where both experimental (students taught using 3D visualization) and control (students taught using 2D visualization) groups participated in pre-test and post-test but only the experimental group received the intervention as 3D visualization.  The population for this research comprises all science senior secondary school one (SSS1) students under Sokoto State Ministry of Science and Technology, Sokoto State, Nigeria. A sample of 118 students purposively selected were used. The instrument used for this research was Students’ Visualization Test in Chemical Bonding (SVTCB). The measured reliability of the instruments was 0.72.  Independent sample t-test was used to analyse data collected. The findings implies that, 3D visualization enhances students’ visualization skills in the learning of chemistry abstract concept irrespective of gender.
