Nazi Homayounnasab; Peter Adam Hoeher; Sandra Hansen – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2024
This paper deals with an integration of STEM education and project-based learning (PBL) by introducing a hybrid hardware/software-based learning platform covering eight learning units. PBL not only bridges the gap between theory and practice, but also focuses on improving students' soft skills, which is important as they prepare for further…

Pallant, Amy; Pryputniewicz, Sarah; Lee, Hee-Sun – Science Teacher, 2017
This article describes a five-day online energy module, developed by the Concord Consortium (an educational research and development organization) in which students compare the effects of various energy sources on air quality, water quality, and land use. The module's interactive models explore hydraulic fracturing, real-world data on energy…

Mayer, V. V.; Varaksina, E. I. – Physics Education, 2014
Students receive a more complete conception of scientific cognition methods if they reproduce fundamentally important historical investigations on their own. Ohm's investigation realized in 1826 is one of these. This paper presents a simple and accessible experimental unit, in which Ohm's ideas are implemented with the help of modern…

Donley, John F.; Stewardson, Gary A. – Technology Teacher, 2010
Alternative energy sources have become increasingly important as the production of domestic oil has declined and dependence on foreign oil has increased. Historically, there have been four time periods during which the United States was in fact crippled by oil shortages. These time periods include: (1) the early 1900s; (2) World War II; (3) the…

Lawson, John; Aggarwal, Pankaj; Leininger, Thomas; Fairchild, Kenneth – Journal of Statistics Education, 2011
This article describes a collaborative learning experience in experimental design that closely approximates what practicing statisticians and researchers in applied science experience during consulting. Statistics majors worked with a teaching assistant from the chemistry department to conduct a series of experiments characterizing the variation…
