Recent solar eclipses provide relevant real-world contexts for learning about the scientific phenomena of the lunar phases. News coverage of the phenomenon may have raised questions such as, "Why does the Moon look different at different times, and sometimes as if it is not there?," and "What patterns can be found in the lunar…

New approaches to microbiology education are needed to ensure equitable representation in microbiology and to build literacy in microbiology and science broadly. To address this goal, we developed a course held at the collegiate level that uniquely integrated microbiology, Indigenous studies, science and technology studies, and arts and…

Chiu-Hsia Huang; Ya-Ling Chen; Holger Haas – European Journal of STEM Education, 2024
This study explored the views of 63 Taiwanese pre-service teachers who had participated in a workshop about the value of integrating drama-based approaches in their practical science learning. It was primarily designed to investigate the pedagogical approach of Heathcote and other founders of process drama. In addition, it examined specific claims…

Titikan Somboon; Wichien Sang-aroon; Sira Sansuk – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Undergraduate-level laboratory experiments that integrate multidisciplinary chemistry concepts into a single activity are very appealing and thought-provoking for chemistry students. Here, we use the oscillating chemical reaction to introduce students to the analytical detection concept. The Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction is employed as a simple…

Kaczor, Alexis; Robertson, Laura; Price, Jamie; Lester, Lindsay; Nivens, Ryan – Science and Children, 2022
In this article, the authors discuss finding teaching the standard on the apparent brightness of the Sun (5-ESS1-1) to be a challenging and frustrating experience due to the abstract nature of the standard and generally low interest of their fifth-grade students. They had previously used hands-on learning activities involving flashlights to model…

Aygün, Müge; Hacioglu, Yasemin; Ceylan, Derya; Durkan, Elif – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
This study aims to determine the usability of the book 'Five Weeks in a Balloon' authored by Jules Verne, as a context for interdisciplinary teaching of fourth-grade science and social studies courses. As a document review, the book was analyzed based on the Science and Social Studies Curricula/Turkey-2018. The book was associated with all…

Davidson, Ashley B.; Addison, Christopher J.; Charbonneau, James – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2022
Universities are recognizing the need to prepare graduates to think conceptually and have the ability to take on complex, real-world problems. Strategies to assess conceptual knowledge are limited and often require more time and effort to complete than is accessible for most undergraduate courses. Card sorting is a very broad technique for…

For some professionally, vocationally, or technically oriented careers, curricula delivered in higher education establishments may focus on teaching material related to a single discipline. By contrast, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary teaching(MITT) results in improved affective and cognitive learning and critical…

Burke, Lydia E. Carol-Ann; McAvella, Alison; Wessels, Anne – Science Teacher, 2020
Researchers have demonstrated a correlation between personal value, enjoyment and interest, and sustained engagement in science (Ainley and Ainley 2011). This article presents pedagogical strategies that use drama and discussion to explore students' everyday encounters with science by engaging the body and emotion. Drama-based discussions in…

Nikolopoulos, K.; Pardalaki, M. – Physics Education, 2020
A workshop using dance to introduce particle physics concepts to young children is presented. The workshop is realised in the dance studio, the children assume complete ownership of the activity and dance becomes the means to express ideas. The embodiement of the physics concepts facilitates knowledge assimilation, while empowering the students…

Green, Abigail I.; Parent, Kristin N.; Underwood, Sonia M.; Matz, Rebecca L. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Core chemistry ideas can be useful tools for explaining biological phenomena, but students often have difficulty understanding these core ideas within general chemistry. Connecting these ideas to biologically relevant situations is even more difficult. These difficulties arise, in part, from a lack of explicit opportunities in relevant courses for…

Pulley, Melissa; Rodriguez, Leoncio; Lewis, Matthew; Kohler, Brynja; Gordillo, Luis – PRIMUS, 2022
Inspired by the approach first employed by C.S. Holling in his classic "disc experiment," this article provides a sequence of learning activities that increase students' understanding of the mechanisms behind saturating effects in predator-prey scenarios. The proposed lesson is recommended for inclusion in courses that address…

Wilkinson, Debs; Stone, Glenn – Primary Science, 2019
Teaching children scientific vocabulary is an important part of science education and should be carefully considered when planning units of work so that children can understand new words and apply them to their learning (Sewell, 2018). This view is echoed in the aims of the National Curriculum in England, which states that pupils should be able to…

Tan, Da Yang – Online Submission, 2021
Applying physical principles is important for designs of various products with tailored performances. However, one of the long-standing issues of the students' design projects (or school's interdisciplinary projects) is the post-hoc imposition of the knowledge learned in their content subjects. This post-hoc imposition significantly diminishes the…

Markwick, Andy – Primary Science, 2019
Exploiting the special synergy between science and mathematics can deepen children's understanding of scientific concepts and ideas and provide a range of contextualised opportunities for children to apply their mathematical knowledge and skills. With some creative thought and careful planning, science activities can be developed so that they…
