Paige M. Russell; Jeffrey P. Potratz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Three computer-based activities focusing on fundamentals of binding interactions are described that are powered by Desmos, freely available web-based software. The software allows the instructor to monitor the progress of each student completing the activity by privately viewing their answers in real time, to enforce class pacing by modulating…

Gregorcic, Bor; Haglund, Jesper – Research in Science Education, 2021
We present and analyze video data of upper secondary school students' engagement with a computer-supported collaborative learning environment that enables them to explore astronomical phenomena (Keplerian motion). The students' activities have an immersive and exploratory character, as students engage in open-ended inquiry and interact physically…

Stephens, Lisa I.; Mauzeroll, Janine – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
One of the unique advantages of electrochemistry is that the relationship between thermodynamics and kinetics is quantitative, which is the basis of voltammetry. Mathematical models of electrochemical systems take advantage of this relationship to predict the effect of changing a system property (e.g., concentration, scan rate, or rate constant)…

Kansoy, Merve Berika; Sert-Cibik, Ayse – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2023
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of guided inquiry activities supported by digital stories in the 6th grade science lesson on students' attitudes towards inquiry. The method of the study was determined as the embedded design, one of the mixed method research designs. 27 students from a public school located in the countryside…

Pastore, A.; Romero, A. M.; Diget, C.; Rios, A.; Leech, K.; Stokoe, P. – Physics Education, 2021
We present a simple activity based on the liquid-drop model which allows secondary school students to explore the uses of mathematical models and gain an intuitive understanding of the concept of binding energy, and in particular the significance of positive binding energy. Using spreadsheets provided as supplementary material, students can…

Domenico, Janna; Schneider, Alexis M.; Sohlberg, Karl – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
In this work, two exercises are described that are designed to teach students about the evolution and behavior of the electronic bands of graphene and bilayer graphene. These exercises involve performing extended Hückel molecular orbital theory calculations on polyacenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In the first exercise, students…

Foo, Patrick; Ruiz, Michael J. – Physics Education, 2019
Students preparing to enter medical fields are required to take physics. To increase their interest in physics, a low-cost classroom medical activity is presented introducing them to the basics of endoscopic visualization and navigation. Incorporated in the activity are basic surgical techniques such as resection with single or multiple operators.…

Ampatzidis, Georgios; Ergazaki, Marida – Science & Education, 2018
This article reports on the theoretical output of a design research study, which concerns the design of a learning environment (LE) for helping students challenge the 'balance of nature'-idea and reach an up-to-date understanding about ecosystems' contingency. Our focus is set on whether it is feasible to articulate an empirically tested theory of…

Hadiati, Soka; Kuswanto, Heru; Rosana, Dadan; Pramuda, Adi – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
This study aims to examine students' reasoning based on the model in each laboratory work style and find the effect on scientific attitude and student activity. This study uses a quantitative approach with the experimental method. The study was conducted in three classes with different lab work styles. Arduino and sensors were used as a…

Bandyopadhyay, Subhajit; Rathod, Balraj B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
An Android-based application has been developed to provide color-blind and visually impaired students a multisensory perception of color change observed in a titration. The application records and converts the color information into beep sounds and vibration pulses, which are generated by the smartphone. It uses a range threshold of hue and…

Diget, C. Aa.; Pastore, A.; Leech, K.; Haylett, T.; Lock, S.; Sanders, T.; Shelley, M.; Willett, H. V.; Keegans, J.; Sinclair, L.; Simpson, E. C. – Physics Education, 2017
We present a new teaching and outreach activity based around the construction of a three-dimensional chart of isotopes using LEGO® bricks. The activity, "binding blocks", demonstrates nuclear and astrophysical processes through a seven-meter chart of all nuclear isotopes, built from over 26000 LEGO® bricks. It integrates A-Level and GCSE…

Martin, Christopher B.; Vandehoef, Crissie; Cook, Allison – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
A hands-on activity appropriate for first-semester general chemistry students is presented that combines traditional VSEPR methods of predicting molecular geometries with introductory use of molecular modeling. Students analyze a series of previously calculated output files consisting of several molecules each in various geometries. Each structure…
