Hug, Barbara – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2008
Contemporary science standards stress the importance of highlighting inquiry in the science classroom as one way of learning key concepts. One critical question that needs to be addressed for a range of instructional practices is how opportunities to learn are conceptualized so that students can engage and learn the critical ideas and practices…

Mayer, William V. – Journal of Biological Education, 1973
Discusses the vicious circle of perpetuating traditional practices in the use of laboratory organisms. Makes a plea for biology teachers to use new organisms for new tasks, indigenous organisms rather than imported ones, living organisms rather than dead, and organisms to explicate principles rather than as sources of stultifying detail. (JR)

Doerr, Arthur H.; Sieve, Kenneth – Journal of Geography, 1971
At all levels of instruction commonplace items such as fruit, gelatin, golf and tennis balls, and sugar cubes can be used to demonstrate geographic concepts such as earth-sun relations, locative grid, structure of the earth, glaciation. Tactile and visual demonstrations in which students participate are more effective than other alternatives. (NH)
