Hasan Gökçe; Oguzhan Nacaroglu; Seyide Eroglu – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2024
Within the scope of the current study, the researchers developed activities for middle school students to raise their awareness on the harm of plastics and microplastics, which are detrimental to nature and living things. In addition, through the activities developed, the study aimed to provide students with knowledge of and experience with…

Background: Teacher educators have begun exploring the most effective ways to prepare preservice teachers (PSTs) to engage elementary students in engineering design. However, this remains challenging as PSTs continue to report a lack of exposure to engineering during their K-12 school experiences. This study investigates the engineering-related…

Jonathan Brown; Erin Turner; Delia Sotelo Fierros – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Mathematical modeling involves using mathematics to represent, analyze, and make predictions or decisions about real- world situations. Garfunkel and Montgomery (2016) elaborate on six components of the mathematical modeling process, including identifying the problem, making assumptions and identifying variables, doing the math, analyzing and…

Keller, Thomas; Glauser, Philipp; Ebert, Nico; Brucker-Kley, Elke – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
This paper examines the use of Virtual Reality (VR) at Swiss secondary schools. Despite many years of research, no well-founded data are available on the effects of the technology on children's learning success. It is assumed that VR is compatible with the learning theory of constructivism through the possibility of immersion, interaction, 3D…

Crisan, Gabriela Ileana; Albulescu, Ion – Romanian Review of Geographical Education, 2018
In the present study, we conducted analyses of artwork that represents elements from the natural and man-made environment and established their compliance with the real world. We also present a comparative approach of young schoolchildren's artwork, having the landscape and other environment elements as a main theme. The research took place…

Hudson, Reuben; Glaisher, Samuel; Bishop, Alexandra; Katz, Jeffrey L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
A multiple day activity for students to create large-scale plastic objects from the biopolymer chitin (major component of lobster, crab, and shrimp shells) is described. The plastic objects created are durable and made from benign materials, making them suitable for students to take home to play with. Since the student-created plastic objects are…

Nagel, Paul; Beauboeuf, Donna – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2012
This lesson was inspired by the book, "10 Little Rubber Ducks" by Eric Carle, which discusses ocean pollution. The book was inspired by an incident in 1992: A shipping container tumbled into the North Pacific Ocean, broke open, and 28,800 little rubber ducks (and other plastic bath toys) were lost at sea. The ducks were manufactured in China, and…
