Seventeen autistic adults aged 36-59 years…

Lighthouses offer a unique lens for interdisciplinary teaching by connecting students to stories of innovation, perseverance, and historical change. By connecting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts with historical inquiry, students develop a deeper understanding of the ingenuity behind these structures and the…

As U.S. politics has been and continues to be dominated by white men, girls and children of color begin to disengage from politics beginning at young ages, leading to their voices being less present in the political system in adulthood.

This article explores the development of the Our Cinema project in Scotland: a revolving annual curriculum of film education for upper primary and lower secondary age children in state schools that, at the time of writing, is approaching a pilot phase. Discussion explores the project's origins in France's Cinéma Cent Ans de Jeunesse, and its…

Students need to see the value in the lessons their teacher provide. As students begin to approach driving age, they may start to think about the make, model, color, and features they would want in a car; but do they think about the cost or how that cost depreciates over time? The author used these questions to develop a Desmos activity that would…

Understanding the global water cycle is fundamental to Earth systems literacy and fostering an informed citizenry; however, students often struggle with terminology, the role of key processes, and estimating the physical and temporal scales, leaving knowledge gaps that impair comprehension. The Hydrologic Cycle Game is a pedagogical tool for…

Bringing metacognition onto college campuses is a transformational experience for students and faculty as well as their institutions.

Studies on the efficacy of the flipped classroom structure have become more prevalent in the chemistry education research literature over the past 10 years, and the body of research that has been compiled appears to indicate flipped classroom structures positively impact student learning outcomes relative to "teaching as usual"…

We examined the relationships between heights of different vertical jumps and isometric single-joint strength characteristics of ankle, knee, hip, and trunk joints in young male soccer players (n = 117). The highest peak torque and rate of torque development (RTD) outcomes were in low to moderate correlation with jump heights (r = 0.25-0.50). The…

An inexpensive at-home quantitative analysis activity was developed for the determination of glucose in unknown samples using paper-based microfluidic devices. All of the materials and reagents for the activity fit in a small kit that was mailed to students. The only items students needed to supply were water and a smartphone. Microgram quantities…
