Cameron, Kristina; Malone, Kathy L.; Sabree, Zakee; Schuchardt, Anita – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
The use of modeling-based instruction is very effective when learning science content in multiple disciplines for native speakers. However, the benefits of using this pedagogy with students learning English as a second language or English Learners (ELs) have not been widespread, especially at the upper secondary level. This article discusses the…

Concannon, James P.; Brown, Patrick L. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2018
Students come to class with little understanding about torque, angular velocity, and angular acceleration despite the fact that these physical science concepts are frequently observed. For example, torque occurs when car and bicycle tires rotate, the movement of fishing pole when hooking a fish, and when a person uses a hammer to drive in a nail.…

Isik, Hakan; Alpaslan, Muhammet Mustafa – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2018
Lab activities have been innovated and progressed to fulfill the purpose that students need to experience physics concepts through hands-on and minds-on interactions. However, student-centered and conceptual activities in physics labs are challenged with time and material constraints that degrades the merits of the learning environment. This study…
