Joseph Chiarelli; Melissa A. St. Hilaire; Brandi L. Baldock; Jimmy Franco; Stephen Theberge; Anthony L. Fernandez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
There is a growing need for chemistry students to be able to handle and manipulate large datasets and analyze them in an efficient and accessible way. This creates the need to develop course materials that introduce these topics early in the undergraduate curriculum. To address this growing need, this activity introduced RStudio to students…

Hardy, Lisa; Dixon, Colin; Van Doren, Seth; Hsi, Sherry – Science Teacher, 2022
In science classrooms, students usually see and work with data that's intended to tell them right away about the natural world. Students then often treat the data we provide to them as factual, rather than as a source of evidence (Duschl 2008; Sandoval and Millwood 2005; Berland and Reiser 2009; McNeill and Berland 2017; Hancock, Kaput, and…

Wan, Tong – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
Measurement uncertainty is a key topic in the university physics laboratory curriculum. In this study, we investigate students' ability to draw conclusions from measurement data and reasoning about measurement uncertainty in inquiry labs. This investigation centres around a task where students conclude whether measurements from two experiments…

Hopper, Amy J.; Beswick-Jones, Hana; Brown, Angus M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The five papers published by Hodgkin and Huxley in 1952 are seminal works in the field of physiology, earning their authors the Nobel Prize in 1963 and ushering in the era of membrane biophysics. The papers present a considerable challenge to the novice student, but this has been partly allayed by recent publications that have updated the…

Jane Watson; Noleine Fitzallen; Ben Kelly – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Incorporating an evidence-based approach in STEM education using data collection and analysis strategies when learning about science concepts enhances primary students' discipline knowledge and cognitive development. This paper reports on learning activities that use the nature of viscosity and the power of informal statistical inference to build…

Berg, Stephanie A.; Moon, Alena – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Both graph comprehension and data analysis and interpretation are influenced by one's prior knowledge and experiences. To understand how one's prior knowledge and experiences interact with their analysis of a graph, we conducted think-aloud interviews with general chemistry students as they interpreted a graph to determine optimal conditions for…

Yan Wang; Peng He; Jinling Geng; Zhiwei Zhu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
This paper presents an innovative teaching approach that integrates photoelectric technology with analytical chemistry instruction through inquiry-based learning (IBL), using cerium as a selected analyte. With the advancement of science and technology, a strong foundation of basic knowledge and methodologies is crucial in analytical chemistry…

Exploring Core Ideas of Procedural Understanding in Scientific Inquiry Using Educational Data Mining
Arnold, Julia C.; Mühling, Andreas; Kremer, Kerstin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Scientific thinking is an essential learning goal of science education and it can be fostered by inquiry learning. One important prerequisite for scientific thinking is procedural understanding. Procedural understanding is the knowledge about specific steps in scientific inquiry (e.g. formulating hypotheses, measuring dependent and…

Jones, Thomas J.; Ehlers, Todd A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
The need for geoscience students to develop a quantitative skillset is ever increasing. However, this can be difficult to implement in university-style lecture courses in a way that is both manageable for the instructor and does not involve lengthy, potentially repetitive, question sheets for the students. Here, a method for teaching dimensional…

Vargas, Santiago; Zamirpour, Siavash; Menon, Shreya; Rothman, Arielle; Häse, Florian; Tamayo-Mendoza, Teresa; Romero, Jonathan; Sim, Sukin; Menke, Tim; Aspuru-Guzik, Alán – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The increasing integration of software and automation in modern chemical laboratories prompts special emphasis on two important skills in the chemistry classroom. First, students need to learn the technical skills involved in modern scientific computing and automation. Second, applying these techniques in practice requires effective collaboration…

Hammett, Amy; Dorsey, Chad – Science Teacher, 2020
To learn with data, students need "data" to explore. This can be deceptive--data-rich experiences typically involve much more than a straightforward science lab. Solving real problems with data means identifying authentic questions that are meaningful to students and provide a foundation for deep inquiry. Such situations often lend…

LoPresto, Michael C. – Physics Teacher, 2018
In a recent "AstroNote," I described a simple exercise on the mass-luminosity relation for main sequence stars as an example of exposing students in a general education science course of lower mathematical level to the use of quantitative skills such as collecting and analyzing data. Here I present another attempt at a meaningful…

Vieyra, Rebecca Elizabeth; Vieyra, Chrystian; Macchia, Stefano – Physics Teacher, 2017
Although the advent and popularization of the "flipped classroom" tends to center around at-home video lectures, teachers are increasingly turning to at-home labs for enhanced student engagement. This paper describes two simple at-home experiments that can be accomplished in the kitchen. The first experiment analyzes the density of four…

Pierratos, Theodoros – Physics Education, 2021
Due to the conditions imposed worldwide by the pandemic, students' access to school laboratories is limited, if not impossible. To provide students with raw experimental data to assess, analyse and reason out, we have filmed experiments that can be used in a flipped classroom. This paper presents an experiment which makes use of an array of six…

Han, Duanduan; Ugaz, Victor – Chemical Engineering Education, 2017
Three self-contained mini-labs were integrated into a core undergraduate fluid mechanics course, with the goal of delivering hands-on content in a manner scalable to large class sizes. These mini-labs supported learning objectives involving friction loss in pipes, flow measurement, and centrifugal pump analysis. The hands-on experiments were…
