Yuqing Fang; Lu Shi; Qiaohui Guo; Jianwen Jiang; Shuiliang Chen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
To address the problems of too specialized content and single teaching methods in general education courses of science and engineering in colleges and universities, this study tries to reform such general courses under the guidance of the "student-centered" concept. A general chemical education course, "Chemical Mysteries in Movie…

Vere?, Sanda; Magda?, Ioana – Romanian Review of Geographical Education, 2020
This research aims to analyse the process of grasping the Solar System by the students during their learning activities in which we used an animation film and other educational means (geographic globe, schematic drawings, 3D model, etc.), as well as the results obtained. In order to achieve this goal, we organized an action-research within…

Barber, Nicola C.; Stark, Louisa A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
Cells are bustling factories with diverse and prolific arrays of molecular machinery. Remarkably, this machinery self-organizes to carry out the complex biochemical activities characteristic of life. When Watson and Crick published the structure of DNA, they noted that DNA base pairing creates a double-stranded form that provides a means of…

Pathmanathan, Sai – Primary Science, 2014
Young people can be motivated to learn science using the power of various entertainment media. The author states the need to recognise that they are accessing science through informal learning outside school. With children saying they have learnt from cartoons such as Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants, it would seem that entertaining animations…

Bogiages, Christopher; Hitt, Austin M. – Science Teacher, 2008
Mitosis and meiosis are essential for the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms. Because these processes are essential to life, both are emphasized in biology texts, state standards, and the National Science Education Standards. In this article, the authors present their methodology for teaching mitosis by having students produce…

Liu, Dennis – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2007
Cells are the fundamental unit of life and disease; therefore, many avenues of research converge on cells, making images of cells prominent in research and teaching. Much of the progress of modern biomedical science can be tied to advances in our ability to better visualize the functional morphology of cells, including higher resolution imaging,…
