Georgios Ampatzidis; Marida Ergazaki – Science & Education, 2024
Although formulating a broadly accepted definition of scientific literacy may be challenging, it is widely recognized that Nature of Science (NOS) is an essential component of it. There are different ways to define NOS. In some cases, NOS can be conceptualized through a number of general NOS aspects like for instance science's empirical basis or…

Linda Hämmerle; Daniela Hlavka; Michael Kiehn; Peter Pany; Peter Lampert – American Biology Teacher, 2024
Especially within the light of the current loss of biodiversity, we want our students to gain a better understanding of the issues at stake in order to take action and support plants and their pollinators. Many educational approaches focus on honeybees, disregarding the vast diversity in the context of pollination systems and the complex…

Guanio-Uluru, Lykke – Children's Literature in Education, 2023
Recent biological research (Trewavas, 2003; Mancuso & Viola, 2013; Gagliano, 2018) has (re)demonstrated the variety and complexity of the adaptive behaviour of plants. In parallel with these findings, and in acknowledgement of the important role played by plants in the biosphere and climate of the planet, the representation of plants in…

Diederick Maes; Kevin Bevernaege; Kamil Unal; Elias Denijs; Johan M. Winne – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
An undergraduate laboratory experiment has been developed for the synthesis of a reactive cross-linker that is useful in various highly visual demonstrations of organic reactivity, click chemistry, and biobased polymer synthesis. A triazolinedione-based cross-linker, which is known as a useful reagent for click chemistry, can be obtained from…

Worakan Chutakool; Thanit Praneenararat – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In the past few decades, chemistry has evolved to interact with various disciplines to synergistically help tackle global challenges. This, in turn, requires that newer generations of chemistry students are trained to be more flexible in accepting and coordinating new concepts. In this experiment, pineapple was used as a key model to allow for the…

Wallee Naimi; Gail A. Vinnacombe-Willson; Stanley Saldana; Lionnel Ronduen; Heather Domjan; Naihao Chiang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Stimulating interest in science at an early age is important for STEM education. This work details an educational activity utilizing the anthocyanins found in butterfly pea flowers ("Clitoria ternatea"). This activity was developed for use in official classroom settings, online, and/or at-home with parental or educator guidance. Primary…

Chiappero, Julieta; Cappellari, Lorena del Rosario; Palermo, Tamara Belen; Giordano, Walter; Banchio, Erika – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Drought is a major environmental stress factor that affects the growth and development of plants. All plants have to maintain the reactive oxygen species within certain levels for normal cellular homeostasis by means of their antioxidant systems, which can be classified as enzymatic and non-enzymatic. Plants under drought stress generate an excess…

Ross, Keith – School Science Review, 2021
We often say food and fuels "contain" energy. It is more accurate to say that energy is stored in the "fuel-oxygen system" generated during photosynthesis. It is definitely "not" stored in fuels or food (except for the very small amount of energy that can be obtained during anaerobic respiration). Aerobic respiration…

Tan, Aik-Ling; Ng, Yong Sim; Koh, Jaime; Ong, Yann Shiou; Koh, Dominic – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
This integrated STEM activity on the design of a vertical farming system has biology as the lead discipline and relates to the concept of photosynthesis. Students investigated the optimal design of vertical farms that will deliver appropriate amounts of water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to plants such that there will be optimal yield. Through…

Haenel, Gregory – American Biology Teacher, 2023
Case studies are valuable tools for instruction but are often limited to a single topic and a single class period. Courses such as evolution that synthesize multiple concepts around a common theme, however, can use a single case study type project that extends over the entire semester to develop and link core concepts. A central theme in…

del Rosario Cappellari, Lorena; Chiappero, Julieta; Banchio, Erika – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Rhizobacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth are referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, and this can stimulate plant growth either indirectly or directly. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by rhizobacteria have the capacity to promote plant growth as well as perform biocontrol of fungal pathogens. The…

Niu Huang; Chao Li; Shili Gan; Cancan Le; Huan Liu; Wei Liu; Liqun Ye – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
With the benefits of low cost, energy efficiency, and environmental protection, photocatalytic hydrogen production is considered to be the most promising technology for the development of a clean and sustainable society. However, the utilization of photocatalytically generated hydrogen is not very common yet. Therefore, tertiary education urgently…

Sivanpillai, Ramesh; Whitman, Ronald D. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2019
Understanding the concept of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and its interaction with matter (absorption, reflection, and transmission) can be difficult for students in seventh and eighth grade physical science classes. This inquiry-based activity (IBA) is aimed at improving their understanding of these concepts by exploring the interaction of EMR…

do Carmo, Eduardo; Hönnicke, Marcelo Goncalves – Physics Education, 2018
There are different forms to introduce/illustrate the energy concepts for the basic physics students. The explosive seed dispersal mechanism found in a variety of trees could be one of them. Sibipiruna trees carry out fruits (pods) who show such an explosive mechanism. During the explosion, the pods throw out seeds several meters away. In this…

Heineman, Richard H. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
These three biology songs can be used for educational purposes to teach about biochemical concepts. They touch on three different topics: (1) cancer progression and germ cells, (2) gene expression, promoters, and repressors, and (3) electronegativity and the biochemical basis of photosynthesis.
