Gil, Einat, Ed.; Mor, Yishay, Ed.; Dimitriadis, Yannis, Ed.; Köppe, Christian, Ed. – Understanding Teaching-Learning Practice, 2022
As we have come to accept the duality of physical and virtual learning spaces as a permanent feature of our educational landscape, we begin to question its validity. Is this really a dichotomy, or is it a continuum? Should this be the primary dimension around which we cluster educational experiences -- how does it intersect and interact with other…

Bull, Prince Hycy, Ed.; Keengwe, Jared, Ed. – IGI Global, 2019
Digital integration is the driving force of teaching and learning at all levels of education. As more non-traditional students seek credentialing, certification, and degrees, institutions continue to push the boundaries of innovative practices to meet the needs of diverse students. Programs and faculty have moved from merely using technology and…

Honey, Margaret A., Ed.; Hilton, Margaret, Ed. – National Academies Press, 2011
At a time when scientific and technological competence is vital to the nation's future, the weak performance of U.S. students in science reflects the uneven quality of current science education. Although young children come to school with innate curiosity and intuitive ideas about the world around them, science classes rarely tap this potential.…

Rode, Geralynne A. – American Biology Teacher, 1995
Describes a simulation that can be used in the classroom to help clarify difficult concepts in protein synthesis. (ZWH)
Descriptors: Biology, Cytology, Science Education, Secondary Education

Costanza, Robert – BioScience, 1987
Describes a new software package for the Apple Macintosh computer which can be used to create elaborate simulation models in a fraction of the time usually required without using a programming language. Illustrates the use of the software which relates to water usage. (TW)

Dubowsky, Nathan; Hartman, Elliott M., Jr. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1986
Immediately following a lecture discussion on early hominid characteristics and behavior, students participate in a laboratory study of bipedal locomotion based on an analysis of footprints. The development and use of this simulation are described. (JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Evolution, Higher Education, Science Education

Arico, Anthony – American Biology Teacher, 1995
Describes an inexpensive, easily prepared demonstration to teach the concepts of human blood grouping, antigen-antibody reactions, and medical transfusions. (ZWH)
Descriptors: Biology, Demonstrations (Science), Science Education, Science Experiments

Levary, Reuven R. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1986
Discusses the use of simulations to study complex real-life systems in engineering. Describes some of the limitations of using simulations. Identifies some situations in which computer simulations are practical and useful tools for the design, analysis, and evaluation of systems. (TW)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Simulation, Computer Uses in Education

Schlenker, Richard M.; Yoshida, Sarah J. – Science Activities, 1991
Activities in which students build their own simulations of fossils, using seashells, chicken bones, toy dinosaurs, or leaves as models and plaster of paris, sand, mud, clay, or a mixture of gravel and clay as a matrix are presented. Curriculum extensions are included. (KR)

Modell, Harold I. – Physiologist, 1985
Lists 12 simulation programs covering respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, chemoregulation of respiration, ventilation/perfusion relationships, and acid-base balance. Describes the structure of a typical program and shows how the programs are used during lecture and laboratory sessions. (JN)

Bery, Julia – Journal of Biological Education, 1985
Describes a demonstration designed to help students better understand the response of plant and animal cells to hypotonic solutions. The demonstration uses a balloon inside a flexible, thin-walled cardboard box. Air going in corresponds to water entering by osmosis, and, like real cells, if stretched enough, the balloon will burst. (DH)

Kirkup, L. – Physics Education, 1985
Describes a computer program which plots electric field line plots. Includes program listing, sample diagrams produced on a BBC model B microcomputer (which could be produced on other microcomputers by modifying the program), and a discussion of the properties of field lines. (JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Simulation, Computer Software, Electricity

Amos, Robert E. – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1976
Rocket, a computer simulation program of a model rocket's flight performance written in BASIC to run on a Wang 220-B is detailed. The critical portion of the program is presented. (BT)
