Lee, Leo Chi Chun; Sin, Noddy Ho Long; Chan, Kennedy Kam Ho – School Science Review, 2020
Although empirical studies have consistently indicated that students commonly struggle to learn and understand the concepts related to reflex actions, few teaching strategies have been developed that specifically address these learning difficulties. This article introduces simple teaching models that simulate the nervous pathways related to the…

McCullagh, John F. – School Science Review, 2019
The physical and chemical properties of Milk of Magnesia provide examples of chemical concepts and opportunities for investigative practical work for secondary chemistry students of all ages. Basing the lesson on the contents of that familiar blue bottle, which is probably lurking somewhere in a cupboard in most households, also showcases the role…

Stiller, Cornelia; Stockey, Andreas; Hahn, Stefan; Wilde, Matthias – School Science Review, 2021
This article describes a new competence-oriented teaching rationale for a science course, developed in Germany through close cooperation between teachers and researchers, that seeks to improve scientific literacy at upper-level secondary school (ages 15-17). Its aim is to help students become independent and competent experimenters by combining…

Sosabowski, Michael Hal; Young, Clive; Matkin, Judy; Ponikwer, Fiona – School Science Review, 2013
Gravity is an intangible abstract force when considered theoretically and yet we are affected by it constantly. The apparently "strong" nature of gravity, which in the layperson's mind causes him or her to stick to the Earth, is belied by the fact that it is the weakest of the fundamental forces. Demonstrations that allow pupils,…

Koumaras, P.; And Others – School Science Review, 1996
Focuses on the provision of meaningful counterintuitive experimental evidence for students while taking into account the relations of theory, instruments, and experimental data. Discusses the use of experiments designed to test pupils' conceptual framework during the teaching of introductory electricity. (JRH)

Ward, Alan – School Science Review, 1983
Lists 25 energy activities and describes two experiments (materials needed and procedures used included) for secondary/middle school students. Like activities for younger children listed in part 1 (appearing in Vol. 65, No. 229), these activities are designed to provide concrete experiences for teaching various aspects of the energy concept.
