Berger, Roland; Lensing, Philipp – Physics Teacher, 2023
In physics education, the topic of electromagnetic induction is an important but also challenging topic for many students. The early introduction of formulae, e.g., Faraday's law of induction, seems to hinder rather than to foster the understanding of the topic's underlying principles. In this paper, we present the basic idea for a teaching…

Vidak, Andrej; Sapic, Iva Movre; Mesic, Vanes – Physics Education, 2021
The experimental investigation of Newton's law of universal gravitation requires expensive and sensitive equipment. Therefore, it is often not possible to conduct such an experiment within a typical physics class. An alternative is to investigate the universal gravitation law by using simulations. In this paper, we are presenting such an augmented…

Chih-Hung Lin; Dadan Sumardani – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Virtual Reality (VR) has been widely adopted in educational research; however, its implementation in the classroom is still not as well known as in the research field. In other words, there is a gap between researchers and practitioners regarding the pedagogical issue. This study aimed to explore how VR could be applied in science classrooms using…

Tadesse Hunegnaw; Tesfaye Demisse Hailegebreal; Dawit Asrat Getahun; Minaleshewa Atlabachew – European Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Even though physical experiments are mandatory in science education, there has been an increasing demand for virtual experiments. This research aimed to investigate the impact of virtual experiments compared to physical experiments on students' conceptual understanding of chemical kinetics concepts. To achieve this, a two-phase explanatory…

Dhanush S. Bejjarapu; Yize Chen; Jiyan Xu; Eric Shaffer; Nishant Garg – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Recent advancements in computer graphics and hardware have driven the resurgence of virtual reality (VR). Past literature has reported the use of VR in education, especially for teaching spatially complex concepts. However, there are limited data available on the precise role of VR game design elements. In this study, we introduce a new VR game,…

Blanco, Philip – Physics Teacher, 2020
In the April 2018 issue of "TPT," Joseph Amato presented an analysis of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) trajectories as applied to recent test launches from North Korea. Using properties of their elliptical paths, he derived relationships between launch velocity, elevation angle, and maximum range. However, this approach cannot…
