Reconceptualized Family Resemblance Approach to Nature of Science (RFN) explains science as a cognitive, epistemic, and social institutional system. The aim of this study is to examine the inclusion of Nature of Science (NOS) in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Turkish middle school science textbooks. The "content," "activity,"…

Jorge, Nina de Castro; Pimenta, Thaiane Salgado; Oliveira, Luan Tadeu de Castro; Isaias, Rosy Mary dos Santos – American Biology Teacher, 2023
The worldwide scientific community has been promoting science communication from colleges and universities to schools, and different tools for communicating scientific discoveries have been created. Among this variety of tools, our choice fell on a storybook. The book, entitled "The Curious Case of Ants That Live in Galls," is directed…

My research comparing different curriculum models has confirmed the necessity of using STEAM within a science classroom to promote conceptual understanding of the content. The curriculum inquiry model of teaching science using the scientific method is insufficient to promote academic growth compared to the STEAM curriculum model that utilizes the…

Archer, Lester A. C.; Ng, Karen E. – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to explain how to use the scientific method as the framework to introduce mathematical model. Two interdisciplinary activities, targeted for students in grade 6 or grade 7, are explained to show the application of the scientific method while building a mathematical model to investigate the relationship between the…

Although nature of science (NOS) and nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI) are related to each other, they are differentiated as NOS is being more related to the product of scientific inquiry (SI) which is scientific knowledge whereas NOSI is more related to the process of SI (Schwartz et al. 2008). Lederman et al. ("Journal of Research in…

Thomas, Jeffrey D. – Science Scope, 2010
Middle school students often struggle when writing testable problems, planning valid and reliable procedures, and drawing meaningful evidence-based conclusions. To address this issue, the author created a student-centered lab handout to facilitate the inquiry process for students. This handout has reduced students' frustration and helped them…

Lehrer, Richard; Schauble, Leona; Lucas, Deborah – Cognitive Development, 2008
A sixth-grade class investigated the ecologies of two local retention ponds over the course of one school year. In this context, instruction assisted development as students designed models of the pond in one-gallon jars and attempted to stabilize these jars in sustainable ecosystems that could be used to study questions about the ponds.…

Maxwell, Jeffrey S.; He, Beixin Julie; deProphetis, Wendy; Gimm, J. Aura – Science Scope, 2006
This article discusses how soap bubbles can be used to teach scientific principles such as phases of matter and the reflection of light. The study of soap bubbles addresses the National Science Education Standards for grades 5-8 related to the properties and changes of properties in matter. The exercises suggested here can be flexible in terms of…
