Lahav, Orly; Hagab, Noha; Levy, Sharona Tal; Talis, Vadim – Interactive Learning Environments, 2019
Access to curriculum learning materials is a central need for students who are blind. This research examined the use of Listening-to-Complexity (L2C) based on NetLogo, an agent-based modeling language enabling exploration and construction of models of complex systems. L2C, designed for users who are blind, provides several auditory streams…

Lapp, David R. – Physics Teacher, 2010
This paper provides examples of naturally radioactive items that are likely to be found in most communities. Additionally, there is information provided on how to acquire many of these items inexpensively. I have found that the presence of these materials in the classroom is not only useful for teaching about nuclear radiation and debunking the…

Hulse, John E.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1974
Discusses the use of a computer program to describe chemical reactions by the concepts of reaction coordinate and energy profile. Indicates that representation of a collision encounter by a trajectory on the energy surface leads to a precise explanation, rather than schematic, in the teaching chemical kinetics. (CC)

Hsu, Ying-Shao – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2006
This paper presents the development and evaluation of a web-based lesson--Lesson Rainbow. This lesson features multiple representations (MRs), which purposefully deliver concepts in relation to distinctive disciplinary subject areas through story-based animations that are closely related to learners' life experiences. The researchers selected 58…

Jones, M. Gail; Minogue, James; Oppewal, Tom; Cook, Michelle P.; Broadwell, Bethany – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2006
Science instruction is typically highly dependent on visual representations of scientific concepts that are communicated through textbooks, teacher presentations, and computer-based multimedia materials. Little is known about how students with visual impairments access and interpret these types of visually-dependent instructional materials. This…
