Amy Pallant; Christopher Lore; Hee-Sun Lee; Stephanie Seevers; Trudi Lord – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
This paper describes how plate tectonics and rock genesis, two topics that are typically addressed separately in secondary Earth science classes, can be taught together as an integrated system. We define the TecRocks Reasoning Framework, developed to support student reasoning about rock formation situated in the context of plate tectonics. We also…

Gwo-Jen Hwang; Wen-Hua Chuang; Lu-Ho Hsia – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Many scientific concepts and theorems are often abstract and challenging to relate to real-life problems, making it difficult for students to grasp them. Therefore, some researchers have attempted to enhance students' understanding by employing a contextual learning approach, which allows students to apply scientific knowledge to real situations…

Babincáková, Mária – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Knowing the volume of evolved gases is helpful to select an optimal leavening agent for a particular application. The comparison of leavening agents, their reactions through the baking process in the modern and attractive way, is presented here. A gas pressure sensor probe was used to monitor the pressure change due to the carbon dioxide produced…

Nanda Putri Pertiwi; Sulistyo Saputro; Sri Yamtinah; Azlan Kamari – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
One of the skills needed in the 21st century is critical thinking skills that need to be developed for secondary school students. Currently, upper-secondary students' critical thinking skills are still low. To overcome the problem, websitebased E-module learning media was developed using a STEM approach with a Problem-Based Contextual Learning…
