Ross, Keith – School Science Review, 2021
We often say food and fuels "contain" energy. It is more accurate to say that energy is stored in the "fuel-oxygen system" generated during photosynthesis. It is definitely "not" stored in fuels or food (except for the very small amount of energy that can be obtained during anaerobic respiration). Aerobic respiration…

Zhang, Chang-Dong; Hu, Xin-Yuan; Wang, Huai-Song; Yan, Fang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A comprehensive undergraduate experiment about extraction, separation, and identification of essential oils (EOs) from a natural plant is described. "Acori tatarinowii" Rhizoma (ATR) was used as the raw plant material. Two devices (Soxhlet and Clevenger) with different extraction principles were employed for EO extraction from ATR,…

Liu, Jinjie; Cook, Ron; Danhof, Linda; Lopatto, David; Stoltzfus, Jon R.; Benning, Christoph – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
A complex research project was translated into a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE), which was implemented in sections of an introductory Cell and Molecular Biology laboratory course. The research laboratory generated an engineered plant line producing a growth-inhibiting, lipid-derived plant hormone and mutagenized this line.…

Çigdem Çingil Baris – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The aim of this research is to examine the effects of laboratory activities based on the predict-observe-explain (POE) strategy on the understanding of photosynthesis and respiration concepts of pre-service science teachers, and their attitudes towards biology science and course and biology laboratory. Pre- and post-test designs with an…

Cris Townley; Kerry Staples; Christine Woodrow; Elise Baker; Michelle Lea Locke; Rebekah Grace; Catherine Kaplun – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2024
This paper explores children's understandings of Acknowledgement to Country practices and Aboriginal knowledges. Guided by the relational lenses of respect, responsibility and reciprocity, we conducted focus groups with children across five Australian early education centres. We found that Acknowledgement practices were evident through recitation…

Wildan, Ardan; Yau, Chin Doong; Ng, Enoch Ming Wei; Xiao, Kevin; Liew, Oi Wah; Ng, Tuck Wah – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
The monitoring of pH changes due to dissolved carbon dioxide from algal balls offers a way for students to acquire good understanding of the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Here, 54 high school participants were enlisted to conduct the experiment physically and with an Augmented Reality (AR) tool developed. A survey conducted after…

Gould, Kevin S.; Gilbert, Amanda; Pike, Adrian J.; Menzies, Ignatius J. – Journal of Biological Education, 2019
Microscopy skills are critical for many aspects of biology, yet they are notoriously difficult to teach, especially to large classes. We trialled the use of widescreen monitors with touch-screen capability connected to compound microscopes in an introductory-level plant biology lab. Working in teams, students used the screens to interpret,…

Tise, Joseph C.; Sperling, Rayne A.; Dann, Michael S.; Young, Taylor M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Analogical reasoning is an important type of cognition often used by experts across domains. Little research, however, has investigated how generating analogies can support college students' self-regulated learning (SRL) of biology. This study therefore evaluated a contextualized cognitive learning strategy intervention designed to teach students…

Tan, Aik-Ling; Ng, Yong Sim; Koh, Jaime; Ong, Yann Shiou; Koh, Dominic – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
This integrated STEM activity on the design of a vertical farming system has biology as the lead discipline and relates to the concept of photosynthesis. Students investigated the optimal design of vertical farms that will deliver appropriate amounts of water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to plants such that there will be optimal yield. Through…

Sulisetijono, S.; Sunarmi, S.; Rochmah, Azizah Nur – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2023
The electronic-module (e-module) is one of the teaching materials needed so that the learning process can take place optimally. E-module owned by UM biology students generally do not use the latest technology. Augmented Reality (AR) is a form of technology where there is a process of integrating the virtual world with the real world. Not a few…

Molina, M. Carmen; Palomino, Javier; Costilla-Legaz, Óscar R. – American Biology Teacher, 2023
Plant Physiology and Ecophysiology (PPE) is a subject taught in the biology degree. One of the skills that students must acquire is "the ability to solve PPE problems." Acquiring this competence requires a precise working methodology, a high degree of presence, and teamwork between teachers and students. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic…

Sri Nardiati; Menuk Hardaniwati; Drajat Agus Murdowo; Sumadi; Sri Winarti – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2023
The use of flower concoction is mythological and is related to the Javanese life, expressed through their language. This study aims to reveal the lexicon that expresses flowers concoction and their function for healing among Javanese people. The study used a descriptive qualitative research method, supported by ethnolinguistics theory. The data…

Robbins, Michael C.; Nolan, Justin M. – Field Methods, 2019
We present a normed measure of cognitive sharing/diversity and a measure of cognitive organization that can be derived from free lists. They are useful for making cross-cultural and intracultural comparisons both within and between culturally constituted cognitive domains. An ethnographic example using data collected in rural Missouri from 40…

Shakeel Mohammad Cassam Atchia; Moshimee Gunowa – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
As some misconceptions remain persistent, comforting and highly resistant to change, it is imperative to use methods and strategies that are centred around students' abilities, interests and needs to address those misconceptions. This study investigates the appropriateness of using 'concept cartoons' to address misconceptions held by forty grade 9…

Christopher Speldewinde – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
The forest school approach to nature learning has gathered momentum in the UK and across parts of Europe including Scandinavia for well over 50 years. In other contexts that include Canada, China, New Zealand and Australia, nature-based early childhood education and care settings, influenced by European forest school approaches, are in a rapid…
