Pebralia, Jesi; Amri, Iful; Rifa'i, Ahmad Imam – Physics Education, 2022
This study has proposed a simple method to show the convective heat transfer. The object in this study is an air conditioner (AC) as a simple case of convection. In addition, AC is also easy to find in the class because most classrooms in Indonesia installed AC. Usually, a visualization needs special software (i.e. MatLab or others) and good…

Jiang, Han; Iandoli, Matthew; Van Dessel, Steven; Liu, Shichao; Whitehill, Jacob – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
"Thermal comfort" (TC) -- how comfortable or satisfied a person is with the temperature of her/his surroundings -- is one of the key factors influencing the "indoor environmental quality" of schools, libraries, and offices. We conducted an experiment to explore how TC can impact students' learning. University students (n = 25)…

Wallace, Dan – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2018
In the New England region, where temperatures range from below 0 to over 100 degrees, heating and cooling can present a major opportunity to improve sustainability statistics of a campus. Overt changes such as improving windows come to mind, but recent advancements in boiler technology and strategies for working with the heat of the sun and the…

Jorgenson, Simon; Howard, Scott; Welch, Brianna Tyler – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2018
Today more than ever, teachers must prepare young learners to understand and address complex social and environmental problems. Many of these problems are directly related to how humans use natural resources to meet their needs. This is a core concept in geography and geography education. The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework suggests…
