Latourelle, Sandra M.; Elwess, Nancy L.; Ryan, Amy B. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
Enzymatic activity is at the core of biological reactions. Understanding them and the chemical and environmental factors that affect reaction rates is critical for biology students. The laboratory experiment proposed here investigated these concepts, while requiring students to document, graph data, analyse results using statistics, and…

Babai, Reuven; Sekal, Rachel; Stavy, Ruth – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010
This study investigated whether intuitive, naive conceptions of "living things" based on objects' mobility (movement = alive) persist into adolescence and affect 10th graders' accuracy of responses and reaction times during object classification. Most of the 58 students classified the test objects correctly as living/nonliving, yet they…
