Ballard, Joy; Mooring, Suazette Reid – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The need for more sustainable practices is in high demand. Green chemistry discusses practices that would lead to less harmful chemical products ending up in the environment. Herein, we describe an outreach activity that introduces minority high school students to the topic of green chemistry. Three hands-on activities were done to illustrate a…

Chuasontia, Itsarapong; Sirirat, Tanita – Physics Education, 2021
This research aimed to design an instructional module to teach light diffraction by a grating to secondary students applying a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-integrated approach. Based on this approach, instructional management integrated the disciplines of physics and mathematics with engineering design process…

Schultz, Kelly M.; Snyder, Mark A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
A hands-on educational module was created to illustrate the scope of chemical engineering. Students are taught fundamental concepts that they integrate in a laboratory experience designing and fabricating a 'plant-on-a-chip' microfluidic device capable of continuous processing of reactive flows. Students gain insight into chemical engineering…

Kafai, Yasmin B.; Lee, Eunkyoung; Searle, Kristin; Fields, Deborah; Kaplan, Eliot; Lui, Debora – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014
In this article, we examine the use of electronic textiles (e-textiles) for introducing key computational concepts and practices while broadening perceptions about computing. The starting point of our work was the design and implementation of a curriculum module using the LilyPad Arduino in a pre-AP high school computer science class. To…

Lorenzini, Robert G.; Lewis, Maurica S.; Montclare, Jin Kim – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
Polymers are materials with vast environmental and economic ramifications, yet are generally not discussed in secondary education science curricula. We describe a program in which college mentors develop and implement hands-on, polymer-related experiments to supplement a standard, state regents-prescribed high school chemistry course, as well as a…
