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…

Mayer, V. V.; Varaksina, E. I. – Physics Education, 2018
A series of demonstration experiments devoted to the relativity of translational motion in inertial and non-inertial reference frames is proposed. We recommend a simple algorithm for the formation of the ability to transform coordinates, speeds and accelerations during the transition from one reference system to another system moving…

Hansson, Lena; Hansson, Örjan; Juter, Kristina; Redfors, Andreas – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This article addresses physics teachers' views about physics teaching in upper-secondary school. Their views have been investigated nationwide through a web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire has been developed based on several published instruments and is part of an ongoing project on the role of mathematics in physics teaching at…

Some students could not learn organic chemistry because of the difficulty of its submicroscopic nature. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of argumentation-based organic chemistry teaching on high school students' argument construction skills so on their meaningful concept learning. The study was conducted on 14 high school…
