Background: The home learning environment (HLE) is central to children's development. Activities in the HLE are assumed to mediate the effects of distal factors such as family socio-economic status (SES) and parental beliefs and attitudes on children's development. However, little is known about the science-specific HLE and the relationship…

Out-of-school science education is important for students' emotional outcomes, such as their interest in science. Not all students, however, have access to real outdoor environments for hands-on learning. To address this issue, live streaming technology allows for real-time interaction and video-based instruction, which can enhance students'…

Kantor, Andrew G.; Scherr, Thomas Foster; Wright, David W.; Verberne-Sutton, Susan Denise – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been used extensively for diagnosis of various diseases and conditions because they are inexpensive, rapid, robust, and easy to use. Incorporating LFAs into undergraduate chemistry courses could enrich the curricula by providing the students with a real-world application of analytical chemistry concepts,…

With support from QuarkNet, high school students investigated the effect of overburden on muon flux by collecting data from Fermilab's Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) tunnel. Muon flux varied due to a change in overburden created by a 103-meter deep access shaft. A profile of muon flux as a function of distance from the access…
