Shang, Hao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Here, we present an interdisciplinary educational project intended for high school chemistry that is focused on the establishment of a mathematical model to describe the relationship between conductivity and concentration, while linking chemistry to mathematics with the help of computer software. The project was designed to help high school…

Ricketts, Amy – Science Teacher, 2011
The more than five million English language learners (ELLs) in the United States represent over 10% of students enrolled in public schools--and this number is growing rapidly. From 1997 to 2007, growth of ELL enrollment exceeded that of overall enrollment by more than six to one. Regardless of where they teach, science educators will undoubtedly…

Minerick, Adrienne R. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2010
An implementation and assessment of three creative-learning mechanisms in a research-inspired split undergraduate/graduate course in Analytical Microdevice Technology is described. Microscale research is challenging to incorporate into the classroom due to the phenomena length-scales and the creating learning strategies were used to promote…

Forster, Pat – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2007
A search on the Internet for resources for teaching statistics yields multiple sites with data sets, projects, worksheets, applets, and software. Often these are made available without information on how they might benefit learning. This paper addresses potential benefits from resources that target trend and variability relationships in bivariate…

Odom, Leslie R.; Morrow, James R., Jr. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2006
Introducing students to measurement concepts poses unique instructional challenges; yet, the importance of measurement issues for all data collection scenarios (e.g., the classroom, individual clients, sporting events) requires that students understand the value of basic measurement procedures. Illustrating the basic measurement topics of…
