Neta Shaby; Orit Ben-Zvi Assaraf; Nicole Pillemer Koch – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
There are relatively few studies examining cooperative learning during laboratory activities in a science museum. This study aims to explore such activities to better understand the nature of cooperative learning, if any, in that setting. The participants in this study were 60 fourth-grade students who visited a science museum lab as part of a…

Lacy, Sara J.; Tobin, Roger G.; Crissman, Sally; DeWater, Lezlie; Gray, Kara E.; Haddad, Nick; Hammerman, James K. L.; Seeley, Lane – Science Education, 2022
We describe the development, design, implementation, and preliminary classroom results of an innovative curriculum, "Focus on Energy," that supports learning about energy in Grades 4-5. The curriculum is grounded in the concepts of science as practice, model-based reasoning, and learning progressions, and builds on students' pre-existing…

Gopal, Jyoti; Pastor, Ella – Science and Children, 2013
This article describes a hands-on science curriculum used to teach kindergarten students about decomposition at the Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, New York. The goal was to get students to spend more time in the natural world and to have the opportunity to literally "get their hands dirty." This was premised on the idea that the…

Koc, Isil; Turan, Merve – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2012
The cycle of duplication and division, known as the "cell cycle," is the essential mechanism by which all living organisms reproduce. This activity allows students to develop an understanding of the main events that occur during the typical eukaryotic cell cycle mostly in the process of mitotic phase that divides the duplicated genetic material…
