Jack K. H. Pun; Xuehua Fu; Kason Ka Ching Cheung – Studies in Science Education, 2024
In classrooms worldwide, the use of English to teach science subjects is becoming increasingly common. There is an increasing number of English-as-a-second/foreign-language learners studying science in English. This review examines 66 empirical studies on this topic published from 2000 to 2021. We critically review and synthesise evidence of the…

dela Cruz, Thomas Edison E.; Olayta, Carlo Oliver M. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Citizen science is a research collaboration between scientists and volunteers who provide data for education, conservation, and environmental protection. Volunteers, often the locals in the area, provide data on species occurrence while researchers perform distribution mapping or other data analysis. Social networking sites including Facebook,…

Khamhaengpol, Arunrat; Phewphong, Sunti; Chuamchaitrakool, Porntip – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Technology and validation methods for producing biodiesel have been updated and have kept advancing. Creative raw materials used in producing environmentally friendly biodiesels have also attracted interest from scientists. Thus, learning and teaching methods on biodiesel production at the high school level need to be up to date. However, there…

Markwick, Andy; White, Amy – Primary Science, 2022
Previous articles in "Primary Science" have presented a range of ways to teach electricity in engaging and informative ways (e.g. Buckley and Harvey, 2014; Chapman, 2014; Norman, 2014; CLEAPSS, 2016) and Frank Harris provides an interesting historical account of the development and use of batteries in "School Science Review"…

Campos, Esmeralda; Zuza, Kristina; Guisasola, Jenaro; Zavala, Genaro – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We conducted a study with introductory and upper-division physics students in a Mexican university to learn how students independently recognize the electric field's main characteristics in the electric field lines diagram and as a source or target representation in conversion processes. We used the theory of registers of semiotic representations…

Chan, Kennedy Kam Ho; West-Pratt, Jordan; Ng, Richard Chi Keung – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Students need procedural understanding--that is, knowledge of the procedures that scientists use to establish scientific evidence (also known as "concepts of evidence"), to successfully perform scientific investigations, and to evaluate public and scientific claims. However, concepts of evidence are seldom explicitly targeted in routine…

MacAogain, Padraig – Primary Science, 2021
One of the objectives in the science National Curriculum in England is to 'observe changes across the four seasons' (DfE, 2013: 9). The winter months can be a busy time for teachers, but can also cater for a wide range of science experiments based around the season. Practical investigations based on winter themes can hold a sense of magic and…

Yuksel, Tugba; Bryan, Lynn A. – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2023
This research investigates the Models of eighth-grade students in Turkey pertaining to magnets and magnetic interactions, while also examining the consistency of these models within themselves. Additionally, a comparative assessment is conducted by comparing the current data with data collected from eighth-grade students a decade earlier. The…

Dennis, Mike – Primary Science, 2020
The author has spent almost all his life working in and enthusing about primary science. From being a class teacher in the 1980s, to running Curioxity, a small hands-on science centre in Oxford, to lecturing trainee primary teachers at Oxford Brookes University and finally working with Science Oxford to help create their wonderful new Science…

Davenport, Carol; Padwick, Annie – Primary Science, 2021
In a recent survey of over 240 primary school children between the ages of 8 and 11, NUSTEM found that 75% of children said that they liked science and 63% said that they were good at science. However, when looking at the data by gender, there is a difference in enjoyment between girls and boys, with 71% of girls and 79% of boys saying that they…

Science Day and Night: Embedding Nocturnal Animal Science Centers in a 5E Inquiry for Young Learners
Schneider, Laura B.; Grable, Stephanie – Science and Children, 2022
Science centers provide an engaging way for young learners to explore related concepts. The hands-on nature of each exercise secures the stimulation necessary to maintain focused attention. In this article, the authors describe a multi-day 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) lesson on nocturnal and diurnal animals with science…

Yurumezoglu, Kemal – Physics Education, 2020
In this article, a consecutive series of four hands-on experiments are recommended to teach the colors of paint/pigment and their mixtures. These activities, which are effective in learning about how to make a simple observation and help to build argument-based knowledge about colors, offer an integrated and innovative way of teaching colors of…

Pendrill, Ann-Marie – Physics Education, 2021
Take a selection of balls and marbles along to a nearby playground slide and let students investigate factors that may influence how balls accelerate down an inclined plane. Students can make hypotheses in small groups, plan investigations to test multiple possible explanations and draw conclusions about the importance of different variables. The…
