Knowledge about the interior density distribution of a planetary body can constrain geophysical processes and reveal information about the origin and evolution of the body. Properties of this interior distribution can be inferred by analyzing gravity acceleration data sampled by orbiting satellites. Usually, the gravity data is complemented with…

Peer reviewedMilos Tichy; Jana Ticha; Michaela Honkova – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2024
What to say to the public about asteroid hazards and how to say it to them? In this article, we relate how our small professional research institution (Klet Observatory, Czech Republic), devoted specifically to Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), together with the educational branch (Ceske Budejovice Observatory and Planetarium, Czech Republic), has…

Many research studies have shown that lower-secondary school students' scientific literacy depends on their understanding of corresponding scientific concepts. Therefore, it is of great significance to model and assess students' conceptual understanding in learning specific scientific concepts, because it can reflect and diagnose students'…

Planey, James; Rajarathinam, Robin Jephthah; Mercier, Emma; Lindgren, Robb – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2023
Extended reality technologies such as headset-based augmented reality (AR) unlock unique opportunities to integrate gestures into the collaborative problem-solving process. The following qualitative study documents the collection and analysis of group interaction data in an astronomy sky simulation across AR and tablet technologies in a classroom…

Sagdic, Ali; Sahin, Elvan – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2023
Microteaching is a significant way to prepare pre-service teachers to overcome specific challenges in a natural classroom environment. It is widely accepted that pre-service science teachers gain pedagogical benefits from microteaching activities. Furthermore, microteaching enhances the conceptual understanding of the presenter on the related…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Seda Sogut; Murat Genc – International Journal of Technology in Education and Science, 2025
In today's world, where technology is advancing day by day and it is easier to access information, developments in science bring along a process that involves dilemmas regarding the ethical and moral values of individuals as well as providing basic scientific knowledge to society. Space exploration refers to a perspective that examines the social,…

Herman, Thaddeus – Physics Teacher, 2022
Even though many physics teachers take their students on a calculation adventure through circular motion and Newton's universal law of gravity to determine Earth's velocity, most of us leave it at that. We present the final result and say, "Look, Earth is moving around the Sun at about 107,000 km/hr (66,000 mph), yet we can't feel the motion…

White, Douglas W. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Laboratory astrophysics and astrochemistry are emerging fields highlighting the importance of laboratory simulations and experiments to benefit remote observations. In particular, ice mixtures found in the outer solar system may offer insight into the early evolution of organic molecules. H[subscript 2]O-ice mixtures containing other species such…

Amato, Joseph C. – Physics Teacher, 2022
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration--European Space Agency collaborative mission to test the feasibility of defending Earth from a catastrophic asteroid impact by using a spacecraft to deflect the asteroid away from the planet. Launched on Nov. 23, 2021, the DART spacecraft will intercept…

Slaton, William V.; Jeffery, Elaine – Physics Teacher, 2021
A solar eclipse provides a well-characterized reduction in solar radiation. Solar radiation is a driving factor in meteorological and climate models. Hence, solar eclipses provide a unique opportunity to do large-scale meteorological experiments by measuring the effects on temperature, pressure, and wind while the atmospheric conditions stay…

Simionato, Silvia – Physics Teacher, 2021
The concept of redshift is very often used in teaching physics and astronomy, as well as in science public outreach. Redshift is an interesting topic, used to describe many physical processes such as the Doppler effect or the expansion of the universe. Nevertheless, there are unfortunately also misconceptions about redshift. When facing the…

Inbanathan, S. S. R.; Moorthy, K.; S., Ashok Kumar – Physics Teacher, 2021
The falling temperature of the photosphere with height is responsible for the effect known as limb darkening. The Sun is not equally bright all over the disc. When we observe the Sun towards the limbs, it appears to get darker. Light from the photosphere travels through an absorptive medium. Therefore, one can see only so far into the photosphere.…

Dragoni, Michele – Physics Teacher, 2020
The acceleration of gravity in Earth's interior is determined by the density distribution in Earth. A remarkable result is that the acceleration is approximately constant all over the mantle, which amounts to about 84% of Earth's volume. This result can be explained by a simple two-layer model of Earth, showing that the constancy of the…
