Henry Jakubowski; Nicholas Bock – American Biology Teacher, 2024
Climate change caused predominately by carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel use is a critical issue for our future. It is incumbent on science educators to learn about it and teach it in ways that illustrate the power of science to understand climatic changes and model past, present, and possible climate futures. It is equally important for…

McAvoy, Darren; Kuhns, Michael; Dettenmaier, Megan; Dupéy, Lauren Nicole – Journal of Extension, 2020
The combination of large volumes of woody fuel needing disposal after forestry activities and evolving regulatory restrictions makes traditional methods of pile burning increasingly difficult. Alternatively, using small kilns to pyrolyze these fuels on-site yields a potentially valuable product: biochar. In this article, we describe an educational…

Martins, J. E. M. Perea – Physics Education, 2020
This work presents a sequence to introduce resistive gas sensors in the classroom. It explains the physical principle of the metal oxide semiconductor sensors and exemplifies its real interfacing through the sensor model MQ-2. Besides, it also presents the design of two electronic systems to indicate the level of alcohol concentration in the air,…

Ross, John; Shelton, Therese – PRIMUS, 2019
We present several modules that address social justice issues in an introductory statistics course. The activities consider possible disparities of housing location, language spoken at home, and job sector as they relate to, respectively, access to healthy foods, air pollution via proximity to traffic, and health concerns via proximity to fracking…

Hendrickson, Katie A. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Mathematical modeling, a focus of the Common Core State Standards for School Mathematics (CCSSI 2010) and one of the Standards for Mathematical Practice, is generally considered to be the process of exploring a real-world situation and making sense of it using mathematics (Lesh and Zawojewski 2007). Teachers need to create opportunities for…

Kauble, Christena Ann – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2011
Several classroom activities using a model of a seashore and an oil spill demonstrate the basic properties of oil spills in oceans. Students brainstorm about how to best clean up the mess. They work in teams, and after agreeing on how they will proceed, their method is tested by measuring the amount of oil removed and by rating the cleanliness of…

Clary, Renee; Wandersee, James – Science Scope, 2010
Coal fueled the Industrial Revolution and, as a result, changed the course of human history. However, the geologic history of coal is much, much longer than that which is recorded by humans. In your classroom, the coal cycle can be used to trace the formation of this important economic resource from its plant origins, through its lithification, or…

Oliver-Hoyo, Maria T.; Pinto, Gabriel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
This instructional resource utilizes consumer product information by which students compare theoretical stoichiometric calculations to CO[subscript 2] car emissions and fuel consumption data. Representing graphically the emission of CO[subscript 2] versus consumption of fuel provides a tangible way of connecting concepts studied in chemistry…

Deal, Walter F., III – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2010
There is considerable interest in electric and hybrid cars because of environmental and climate change concerns, tougher fuel efficiency standards, and increasing dependence on imported oil. In this article, the author describes the history of electric vehicles in the automotive world and discusses the components of a hybrid electric vehicle.…

Caccavo, Frank, Jr.; Clegern, William; Miller, Isaac; Montoya, Crystal – American Biology Teacher, 2003
Metabolism, the sum of all chemical reactions within a living organism, is one of the most fundamental concepts presented in introductory microbiology courses. However, it is often difficult for instructors to effectively translate perfunctory diagrams of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain in a way that is meaningful to…

Brady, Holly; Arnold, Anne Jurmu – Learning, 1983
A teaching kit on coal as an energy source provides background information, ideas for activities, and educational resources needed to start a class project on this contemporary issue. Information about coal, coal mining, electricity production, and environmental-versus-consumer needs is provided. (PP)

Peters, Richard O. – 1982
Background information and a teaching strategy are provided to help students better understand the global energy crisis and learn to take action. An overview of the energy crisis includes a discussion of the unequal distribution of natural resources throughout the world, the finite nature of fossil fuels, and problems associated with the depletion…
