Fazio, Rosario P.; Berenty, Francis J. – Science Teacher, 1983
Suggests cooperative learning projects if only one microcomputer is available for a large class. An example of such a project using a program dealing with correlating sedimentary rock layers through cross-sectional analysis is described. Instructional strategies and academic objectives of the three-module program are included. (JN)

Waugh, Michael L. – 1986
Designed to investigate whether or not science teachers can positively influence student achievement in, and attitude toward, science, this study focused on a specific teaching strategy and utilization of a computer-based simulation. The software package used in the study was the simulation, Volcanoes, by Earthware Computer Services. The sample…

Smith, Carol; And Others – 1987
Because density is unobservable and must be inferred from knowledge about weight and size, it is a difficult concept to teach and learn. Even after traditional instruction, many students still have an undifferentiated concept that mixes characteristics of both weight and density. In this study, researchers tested the effectiveness of a unit they…

Wiser, Marianne – 1986
Two classroom studies, one conducted in the spring of 1985 and the second in the spring of 1986, showed that many high school students do not differentiate between heat and temperature; instead, they have a single concept that contains some of the features of heat and some of the features of temperature. Because the distinction between these two…

Smith, Carol – 1985
Density is the first intensive physical quantity students encounter that can be understood in terms of an underlying model, the particulate theory of matter. Learning about density provides students with explanations for a range of phenomena such as sinking and floating, and changes of state. Teachers report, however, that density is a difficult…
