Melek Basgül; Bayram Costu – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Education 4.0 represents a visionary approach to the future of education, aiming to enhance teaching and learning through advanced technologies. The aim of this research is to determine student attitudes toward the use of Education 4.0 tools in the 7th-grade Science course Electrical Circuits unit. To achieve this, an attitude test was developed…

Nurussaniah Nurussaniah; Punaji Setyosari; Dedi Kuswandi; Saida Ulfa – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
The accurate assessment of analytical thinking in physics, particularly in magnetism, poses substantial challenges due to the limitations of conventional tools in measuring higher-order cognitive skills. This study aimed to validate an analytical skills test in physics, based on Bloom's Revised Taxonomy, with an emphasis on the dimensions of…

Jinglin Fu; Anthony Monte Carlo; Doris Zheng – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift from traditional in-person teaching to remote and online learning, necessitating a more adaptable educational platform to serve the diverse needs of students. Transforming hands-on "wet lab" activities into virtual "dry lab" exercises can promote a more accessible and flexible…

Hümeyra Azize Malay; Salih Çepni; Umut Aydemir – Science & Education, 2025
Photonics is an emerging field of science and technology that is effective in providing sustainable and innovative solutions to twenty-first century problems. Science education includes topics related to light. However, photonics is not yet included in most school curricula as a subject within the domain of science and technology to be presented…

Granatosky – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Access to high-quality outreach programs is crucial for preparing students for STEM careers, yet traditional classrooms often lack diverse, hands-on learning opportunities, particularly in anatomy and evolutionary biology. We present "Are You Stronger Than a Lemur?"--an interactive STEM activity that introduces K-12 students to…

Mercier, H.; Majima, Y.; Miton, H. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
Pseudoscientific beliefs are widespread and can be damaging. If several studies have examined the factors leading people to accept pseudoscientific beliefs, no attention has been paid to the factors contributing to people's willingness to transmit these beliefs. To test whether the willingness to transmit pseudoscientific beliefs contributes to…

Matsutani, Akihiro – Physics Education, 2018
The fundamental air cavity mode (A0) of a violin was investigated from the viewpoint of its dependence on the opening area and shape by using holed sheets of paper. The dependences of the frequency response of the A0 cavity mode on the shape, opening area, and orientation of the openings were observed. It was also demonstrated that the change of…

Garcia-Molina, Rafael; del Mazo, Alejandro; Velasco, Santiago – Physics Teacher, 2018
We present a simple and cheap experimental setup that clearly shows how the colors of the white light spectrum after passing a prism do not recombine when emerging from an identical second prism, as it is still found in many references.

de Freitas, Welica P. S.; Cena, Cicero R.; Alves, Diego C. B.; Goncalves, Alem-Mar B. – Physics Education, 2018
Malus's law states that the intensity of light after passing through two polarizers is proportional to the square of the cosine of the angle between the polarizers. We present a simple setup demonstrating this law. The novelty of our work is that we use a multi-turn potentiometer mechanically linked to one of the polarizers to measure the…

Minkin, Leonid; Shapovalov, Alexander S. – Physics Education, 2018
A simple model of parallel motion of two point charges and the subsequent analysis of the electromagnetic field transformation invariant quantity are considered. It is shown that ignoring the coupling of electric and magnetic fields, as is done in some introductory physics books, can lead to miscalculations of the force between moving charges.…

Greenslade, Thomas B., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 2018
Recently I have been investigating the frequency response of galvanometers. These are direct-current devices used to measure small currents. By using a low-frequency function generator to supply the alternating-current signal and a stopwatch smartphone app to measure the period, I was able to take data to allow a resonance curve to be drawn. This…

Halpern, Arthur M.; Marzzacco, Charles J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
A spreadsheet project that enables students to construct chemical potential vs temperature plots, [mu](T), of liquid and gaseous mercury and all three phases of diiodine and ammonia is presented. Statistical thermodynamics is used to determine the entropies of the substances in the gas phase. For the solid and liquid phases, students start with…

Huggins, Elisha – Physics Teacher, 2018
Consider the fall of the apple that, by legend, hit Newton on the head. Instead of using this to introduce Newton's law of gravity, we will discuss the point of view that the fall of the apple was caused by a minuscule curvature of spacetime in the region surrounding Newton and the apple tree. We will calculate this curvature using concepts and…

Wallace, Maria F. G.; Higgins, Marc; Bazzul, Jesse – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2018
Nature, as a creative ontology, and the ethico-political possibilities inherent within have been seemingly occluded in the field of science education. By Thinking with Nature (TwN), we return to the ontological dimensions of practice and research methodology in science education. Drawing on new material feminisms, educators are invited to follow…

Vera, Francisco; Fernandez, Nicolas; Ortiz, Manuel – Physics Teacher, 2018
In this paper we describe a simple alternative to the telephone book friction experiment, a classic demonstration where a small force (generated for example by the bending of the outer pages) is amplified by the large number of surfaces in contact, resulting in a huge maximum static friction force that has to be counterbalanced in order to…
