Hardy, Lisa; Dixon, Colin; Van Doren, Seth; Hsi, Sherry – Science Teacher, 2022
In science classrooms, students usually see and work with data that's intended to tell them right away about the natural world. Students then often treat the data we provide to them as factual, rather than as a source of evidence (Duschl 2008; Sandoval and Millwood 2005; Berland and Reiser 2009; McNeill and Berland 2017; Hancock, Kaput, and…

Ling, Yizhou; Ye, Xia; Wang, Jingying – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
John Dewey's aesthetics subverts and transcends traditional aesthetics. He applied his empiricism philosophy into the field of aesthetics and re-established the significance of aesthetic experience. Aesthetic experience comes from daily experience; hence it is not fundamentally different from students' biological learning experience. Based on…

Fuwa Yoshioka; Masato Takada; Rui Itoh; Airi Uzawa; Junpei Hayakawa – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Xerogels, exemplified by silica gel, are substances formed by drying gels, resulting in a loss of their internal solvents. Understanding the production and properties of xerogels is crucial, owing to their widespread applications. Xerogel chemistry is widely utilized in several substances; therefore, understanding this chemistry is extremely…

Tadesse Hunegnaw; Tesfaye Demisse Hailegebreal; Dawit Asrat Getahun; Minaleshewa Atlabachew – European Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Even though physical experiments are mandatory in science education, there has been an increasing demand for virtual experiments. This research aimed to investigate the impact of virtual experiments compared to physical experiments on students' conceptual understanding of chemical kinetics concepts. To achieve this, a two-phase explanatory…

Suzuki, Takahiro; Inoue, Masayuki – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In a well-known bronze plating experiment, a Cu coupon is subjected to Sn plating and heating with a Bunsen burner. Currently, aqueous NaOH or HCl is typically used as the plating solution; however, the use of a strong acid or base provides operational risks, particularly in educational settings (e.g., schools). Herein, we introduce a modified…

Tu, Pham Thi Hong; Hang, Nguyen Thi; Van, Luong Thi Thuy; Dung, Ha Van; Nga, Nguyen Thi Hang; Phan, Cao Xuan – World Journal of Education, 2022
Natural science itself is an experimental science, so practice and experimentation are important and are typical teaching methods of this subject. To make practice and experiment play the highest strengths in teaching and developing the ability to learn about nature - one of the three specific competencies of natural science, the association of…

Wannous, Jarier; Horvath, Peter – Physics Teacher, 2023
Measuring permeability in a high school physics course has long been a hard task. However, with the advent of using smartphones in the classroom, it is not only possible but even easily done. This paper offers detailed instructions on how to measure permeability using a smartphone's magnetometer, starting with experimentally discovering the…

Daniela De Luchi; Renato Bonomi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Scientists have always been fascinated by transient far-from-equilibrium systems. Since the (early) 1970s, there have been literature reports on the implementation of didactic experiments as a tool for attracting and stimulating students' and general public interest. In this work, a group of 12 high school students, supported by their chemistry…

Yulin Guo; Lin Wang; Jinyan Hou; Min Fang; Xiaofeng Chen; Jianchun Bao; Zhi Su; Yong Wu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A Maker-oriented experimental course in general chemistry has been created by using digital tools, such as a computer, a pressure sensor, and data processing software, in combination with a new multiple expansion method and laboratory equipment to determine the vapor pressure precisely. In this Maker chemistry experiment, the pressure sensor…

Ferrarelli, Paola; Iocchi, Luca – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2021
Novel technology has been applied to improve students' learning abilities in different disciplines. The research in this field is still finding suitable methodologies, tools, and evaluation mechanisms to devise learning frameworks with high impact on students' performance. This article describes an instructional method to perform Newtonian physics…

Cross, Rod – Physics Education, 2021
A solid ball placed on a rotating turntable is known to roll slowly around a circular path, at a speed 3.5 times slower than the turnable itself. If the ball is located in a straight track across a diameter of the turntable, then it accelerates rapidly to the edge. Both effects were filmed in slow motion using a video camera and a cake decoration…

Oliveira, Vitor – Physics Education, 2022
We discuss the limits of the equation of the period of a simple pendulum, T[subscript s] = 2[pi][square root]l/g, frequently used in high-school and university classrooms to measure the acceleration of gravity. We evaluate the relative error in determining the acceleration of gravity with this simple equation instead of a more realistic one,…

Woithe, J.; Kersting, M. – Physics Education, 2021
Dark matter is one of the most intriguing scientific mysteries of our time and offers exciting instructional opportunities for physics education in high schools. The topic is likely to engage and motivate students in the classroom and allows addressing open questions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Although the empirical evidence of…

Postiglione, A.; De Angelis, I. – Physics Education, 2021
General relativity (GR) represents the most recent theory of gravity, on which all modern astrophysics is based, including some of the most astonishing results of physics research. Nevertheless, its study is limited to university courses, while being ignored at high-school level. To introduce GR in high school, one of the approaches that can be…
