Celsey J. Crabtree – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Distance courses are in high demand, post-secondary institutions are being encouraged to offer more. Some studies have found distance science classes to be as effective in content and student success, as on-campus courses. Distance courses often require greater self-motivation and study skills and as a result, the success of students in distance…

Angelin, Marcus; Ramstrom, Olof – Journal of Chemical Education, 2010
In this laboratory experiment, high school students are challenged to prepare a six-layered chemical "rainbow" in a test tube. Students start with six unknown, colorless liquids and six pigments ranging from violet to red. The experiment is problem based and forces the students to apply their knowledge of solubility and density and combine it with…

Science Created by You (SCY) is a project on learning in science and technology domains. SCY uses a pedagogical approach that centres around products, called "emerging learning objects" (ELOs) that are created by students. Students work individually and collaboratively in SCY-Lab (the general SCY learning environment) on "missions" that are guided…
