Holovko, Mykola; Kryzhanovskyi, Serhii; Matsyuk, Viktor – Physics Education, 2022
In this paper, we have demonstrated the feasibility of using digital technologies to study the behavior of rubber balloons. The experiment to study the behavior of balloons was presented in a new way using the Vernier measuring system, Logger Pro 3 software, Tracker and Google Sheets. This allowed to significantly optimize the work, reduce…

Williams, Hollis – Physics Education, 2022
Granular flows appear frequently in the natural world and in civil engineering applications. These flows can exhibit features which are surprising and counter-intuitive and are often used to test the limits of the classical continuum approximation for modelling of fluid flows. An important sub-class of the granular flows are the gravity-driven…

Soares, A. A.; Cantão, R. F.; Pinheiro, J. B., Jr.; Castro, F. G. – Physics Education, 2022
We present an experiment designed to study standing waves in a tube with one closed end. Two smartphones are used, one to emit a sound signal with a chosen frequency and another equipped with a microphone to detect the sound pressure level inside the tube. Due to the finite diameter of the tube, the standing wave node (or antinode) appears…

Jane Watson; Noleine Fitzallen; Ben Kelly – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Incorporating an evidence-based approach in STEM education using data collection and analysis strategies when learning about science concepts enhances primary students' discipline knowledge and cognitive development. This paper reports on learning activities that use the nature of viscosity and the power of informal statistical inference to build…

Herrera-Suárez, H. J.; Morales-Aranguren, H. L.; Muñoz, J. H.; Ossa-Novoa, J. – Physics Education, 2022
The oscillations of one mass "m" suspended between two different springs, assuming a friction force proportional to the velocity [minuscule], have been studied. For this purpose, an assembly for this system has been made. The movement of the mass is recorded with a smartphone and analysed with "Tracker." It is obtained that the…

Boublil, Shachar; Blair, David; Treagust, David F. – Teaching Science, 2023
The demand for improving student interest in science has increased efforts toward teaching Einstein's theory of general relativity in schools. Research has already shown that teaching Einsteinian gravity at the secondary level is feasible, however, appropriate resources must be readily available for science teachers to make Einsteinian gravity…

Sierra McCormick; Jodi L. Davenport; Anna N. Rafferty; Sandra Raysor; Jacklyn Yani; David Yaron – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The Next Generation Science Standards encourage students to develop the reasoning and practice skills of scientists. Rather than promoting rote memorization, teachers engage students with real-world phenomena and prompt students to think critically. ChemVLab+ is a series of freely available, online modules that require students to reason like…

Jingjing Qiu; Anneke Moeller; Janet Zhen; Hansen Yang; Lily Din; Nicole Adelstein – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An integrated inorganic chemistry laboratory experience focusing on heterogeneous electrocatalysis with nickel (Ni)- and cobalt (Co)-based electrocatalysts is designed for upper-division, major-level chemistry students. In this laboratory, students will be guided through the fabrication of an indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass working electrode,…

Phayphung, Wissarut; Rakkapao, Suttida; Prasitpong, Singha – Physics Education, 2022
The article introduces a low-cost Arduino sensor into the Young's modulus determination laboratory for physics university students. A stainless steel ruler is used as a cantilever beam. Its free end attached a mass is slightly bent and released to make it oscillate as a simple harmonic motion. The Arduino sensor detects the moving mass's frequency…

Ermis, Ferhat; Karaman, Ibrahim – Physics Education, 2020
This study provides information about the formation of colours with an experimental activity based on the reflection of coloured lights from pigments. The activity shows the formation of colour in a simple and entertaining way. The lights are reflected by being changed by different coloured pigments. This activity provides an opportunity to…

Paixão, P. A.; Remonatto, V. M. C.; Calheiro, L. B.; Dos Reis, D. D.; Goncalves, A. M. B. – Physics Education, 2022
Here, we present a 3D printed experimental apparatus that students can use to acquire interference and diffraction quantitative data from light passing through a single or double-slit experiment. We built a linear screw stage with a multiturn potentiometer connected to its leadscrew as a position sensor. Using an Arduino, we collected light…

Zhao, Rui; Chu, Qingzhao; Chen, Dongping – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This work presents an immersive molecular simulation tool (Manta) based on virtual reality technology, which enables students to explore "real" molecular structures and chemical reactions on-the-fly. Manta can work as a virtual classroom and even a playground for chemistry education, where students learn the progress of chemical…

Yunhua Li; Weizhong Liao; Cuixue Chen; Meiling Ye; Alexander Luis Imbault – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is a critical step in many green chemistry processes. The key to the efficiency of water electrolysis is the synthesis of an appropriate electrocatalyst. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an increasingly important part of many industrial processes. In this study, we propose an efficient laboratory…

Thy, Savrin; Iwayama, Tsutomu – Physics Education, 2022
Viscous and Coulomb's friction combined contribute to the damping of a pendulum; however, they are usually treated as a silo effect. In this study, we investigate the combination of viscous and Coulomb damping in compound pendulum oscillation, employing two modern instruments that are cheap and handy to quantify the experiments, which are video…
