De Micheli, Andrea J.; Valentin, Thomas; Grillo, Fabio; Kapur, Manu; Schuerle, Simone – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Natural sciences can be difficult to grasp because physical and chemical phenomena can take place across time and length scales that are beyond the reach of human perception. This problem is particularly true for students attempting to learn about microfluidics, a discipline that involves intricate engineering methods and fluid phenomena that are…

Danese, Anthony – Physics Teacher, 2022
In this paper I describe an interactive Gauss's law computer simulation using the GlowScript programming environment. The simulation calculates a point charge's electric field at locations on the surface of a Gaussian cube and displays the electric field in GlowScript's 3D graphics window. The point charge can be moved, and the electric field…

Gina Passante; Antje Kohnle – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
When thinking about measurement uncertainty in a laboratory experiment that features quantum mechanical effects, it is important to consider both the physical principles of underlying quantum theory (e.g., the uncertainty due to quantum mechanical superposition states) as well as the limitations of the measurement (e.g., the spread in outcomes due…

Alstein, Paul; Krijtenburg-Lewerissa, Kim; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
This article describes the design and evaluation of a simulation environment for special relativity (SR) education at the secondary level. In recent years, SR has become increasingly popular in secondary school curricula worldwide. Because the key concepts in SR are very remote from everyday experience, they are difficult for students to learn.…

Yau, Chin Doong; Wildan, Ardan; Browning, Aidan; Wijesinghe, Chamaka; Xiao, Kevin; Ng, Tuck Wah – Physics Education, 2020
The glowing discharges of plasma obtained by introducing direct current high voltages between two electrodes in a chamber that contains a low pressure gas produces a spectacular effect that makes it attractive to be used as a laboratory experiment for students. Setting up this experiment is however costly and has crucial safety issues to be…

Gnesdilow, Dana; Puntambekar, Sadhana – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
In this study, we compared students' learning from two conditions in a unit on inclined planes: Virtual-then-Physical (V-t-P) (n = 50), where students conducted a virtual lab followed by a physical lab, or vice versa in the Physical-then-Virtual condition (P-t-V) (n = 60). We analyzed students' written explanations after each lab focusing on…
