Scowcroft, Victoria; Davies, Steve R.; Mathlin, Gary; Sloan, Peter A. – Physics Education, 2023
Astronomy is one of the few sciences where the data (star-light) can be seen by all. Yet, there is a disconnect between a typical undergraduate lecture and, for example, where a planet may be in the sky and how to observe it. With the advent of moderate cost, high-quality 'back-garden' astronomy, and standard computers powerful enough to produce…

Kou, Yangming; Peng, Xiayu; Dingwell, Claire E.; Reisbick, Spencer A.; Tonks, Ian A.; Sitek, Anna A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While lab accidents that involved personal injuries or significant property damage are required to be reported by law, many minor lab incidents or near misses are less frequently reported, especially in an academic research environment. However, public awareness of these stories and incidents create valuable learning opportunities and can prevent…

Hernandez-Walls, R.; Rojas-Mayoral, E.; Baez-Castillo, L.; Rojas-Mayoral, B. – Physics Education, 2008
An inexpensive and easily implemented device to measure wind velocity is proposed. This prototype has the advantage of being able to measure both the speed and the direction of the wind in two dimensions. The device utilizes a computational interface commonly referred to as a "mouse." The mouse proposed for this prototype contains an…

Hutchinson, Joseph C. – 1965
The high school language laboratory is approached from the standpoint of (1) planning for the laboratory facilities, (2) the function of equipment in relation to student learning activities, and (3) operation of the laboratory facilities. Considered in the section on planning are laboratory rationale, place in the school program, methods and…
