Hong, Joon Hee; Kim, Jung Bog – Physics Teacher, 2019
Ametal leaf electroscope has often been used for teaching electrostatics. For example, Fig. 1 is a very early one demonstrating electrostatic induction with a gold leaf electroscope. Alternatively we can charge the electroscope by touching a charged object to it. In both cases, induction or charging, the metal leaves push away from each other for…

Kirmizigül, Asli Saylan; Kizilay, Esra; Hamalosmanoglu, Mustafa – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2021
The study aims to examine the opinions of pre-service classroom teachers about science laboratories. The research was conducted with 66 third-year students (50 female, 16 male) studying in the classroom teaching undergraduate program of a university in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. In selecting the participants, taking the…

Duerden, Amanda; Moon, Nicole; Grubbs, G. S., II – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Few laboratory exercises exist that introduce undergraduate students to both the concepts and instrumentation used in rotational spectroscopy. Because of this gap in undergraduate laboratory training, a teaching laboratory for the pure rotational spectroscopy of benzonitrile has been developed and reported. Owing to benzonitrile's recent discovery…

Chih-Ming Chen; Ming-Chaun Li; Chia-Cheng Tu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
It is difficult for students to learn the concepts of chemical laboratory safety education from actual experiences because the traditional teaching model prohibits students from performing dangerous operations. Therefore, this study develops a novel mixed reality-based chemistry experiment learning system (MRCELS) to allow learners to conduct…

Lahane, Rohan D.; Paranjpye, Arvind – Physics Education, 2020
Students are introduced to the concepts of static electricity at a school level and an under-graduate level. In this paper, we present an inexpensive and portable device that can be used to study the static electricity and verify polarity of the electric charge on materials in a triboelectric series. This device is developed at the Science…

Marlowe, Justin; Tsilomelekis, George – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The importance of utilizing spectroscopic techniques for unraveling structural and compositional changes in nonreacting and reacting systems is unquestionable. Nowadays, efforts are directed towards the introduction of relevant spectroscopic techniques to undergraduate students in order to prepare them for future careers in industry and academia,…

Dukes, Albert D., III – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic presented numerous challenges for all levels of the education system. In March 2020, virtually all colleges and universities in the United States moved all instruction to an online environment as a result of the pandemic. While this posed challenges for all faculty, it posed a particular challenge for those faculty members…

Dumar, John – Physics Teacher, 2021
When our school implemented AP Physics 1, I wanted to include a project that would extend over time, use more advanced data analysis, and teach students about handling experimental error. Using a donated 5-inch Newtonian telescope and an entry-level digital camera, the students gathered data from digital images of the four Galilean moons, Io,…

Hardy, Lisa; Dixon, Colin; Hsi, Sherry – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
This paper contributes a theoretical framework informed by historical, philosophical and ethnographic studies of science practice to argue that data should be considered to be actively produced, rather than passively collected. We further argue that traditional school science laboratory investigations misconstrue the nature of data and overly…

Muna, Natashia; Paxton, Moragh; Frith, Vera; van der Merwe, Mathilde – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
To become scientifically literate, students must learn to proficiently utilise and fluently integrate a suite of specialised and contextualised multimodal literacy practices. While the frequency of explicit reading and writing instruction in the sciences is increasing, the wider range of multimodal practices are often not adequately addressed. We…

Dua, Jasveen; Dhawan, Samriti – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2021
Science is all about how and why. India is a land of diversity and having an equally diverse education system. In a diverse classroom, it is important for the teacher to impart knowledge in such a way that it kindles curiosity in the learner. The best way to communicate science is 'learning by doing'. This requires great skill and apt teaching…

Hoper, Jan – School Science Review, 2020
Smartphones, coupled with small mobile sensors, make it possible to work with near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in science classrooms. NIR spectroscopy has become a standard analytical technology in various industries. These new devices enable students to create their own data in real time. This article presents an inquiry-based teaching unit, in…

Saqib, Abdul A. N.; Siddiqui, Khawar S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Determination of thermostability of enzymes is of prime importance for their successful industrial applications and, yet, the published data has often been incompletely analyzed to assess the suitability of enzymes. It is possible to determine meaningful thermostability parameters from the routinely acquired data through a straightforward method…

Volkwyn, Trevor Stanton; Airey, John; Gregorcic, Bor; Heijkenskjöld, Filip – Designs for Learning, 2019
In this paper we discuss the role of transduction in the teaching and learning of science. We video-filmed pairs of upper-secondary physics students working with a laboratory task designed to encourage transduction (Bezemer & Kress, 2008). The students were simply instructed to use a hand-held electronic measurement device (IOLab) to find the…
