Wannous, Jarier; Horvath, Peter – Physics Teacher, 2023
Measuring permeability in a high school physics course has long been a hard task. However, with the advent of using smartphones in the classroom, it is not only possible but even easily done. This paper offers detailed instructions on how to measure permeability using a smartphone's magnetometer, starting with experimentally discovering the…

Lauren A. Keiller; Iain L. J. Patterson; Dominic M. Stewart; Iain A. Smellie – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The use of red cabbage ("Brassica oleracea var. capitata F. rubra") extract as a pH indicator is a versatile and popular demonstration that is employed by educators in many schools and universities. Previous variations of this demonstration have used red cabbage extracts to prepare paper that changes color when solutions of acid or base…

Hanbing Li; Hongyan Zhang; Wenquan Liu; Jie Huang; Kejian Lu; Jinwen Shi; Hui Jin; Wenshuai Chen; Maochang Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In recent years, solar-powered photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production has drawn great attention as a method to supply clean energy and reduce environmental pollution. This approach, driven by solar energy to synthesize hydrogen gas, is completely renewable and can be used to power hydrogen fuel cells to effectively solve the global…

David N. Potier – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
As part of the current UK GCSE science curriculum, pupils need to use their understanding of science to answer questions about a series of core experiments. Problem-solving and applying knowledge to new situations is fundamental in enabling students to progress in science; however, many learners struggle to develop these skills. This can lead to…

Barzykina, Irina – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Chemical reactions far from equilibrium can exhibit oscillatory behavior. Full understanding of this phenomenon is outside of the school curriculum. However, the importance of such processes in life sciences and peculiar spatial and temporal patterns accompanying the reactions can attract the attention of IB Diploma science students. They will…

A. Lynn Stephens – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
It is widely recognized that we need to prepare students to think with data. This study investigates student interactions with digital data graphs and seeks to identify what might prompt them to shift toward using their graphs as thinking tools in the authentic activity of doing science. Drawing from video screencast data of three small groups…

Kok, Karol; Boczianowski, Franz – Physics Teacher, 2021
Science labs should promote reasoning that resembles the work that scientists do. However, this is often not the case. We present a lab in which students strive to find out which of two models best describes a physics experiment. The quantification of measurement uncertainties--another topic that is often neglected in high school…

Oskolok, Kirill V.; Monogarova, Oksana V.; Garmay, Andrey V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Technically simple and extremely cheap setups for colorimetric and fluorimetric analyses using a smartphone camera are presented. Laboratory activities on digital colorimetric and fluorimetric analyses for students of secondary and higher educational institutions are proposed, namely, photocolorimetric determination of acetylsalicylic acid in…

Kelley, Elizabeth W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
An emergent theme from the past spring during COVID-19 remote learning was the difficulty of providing meaningful, relevant, hands-on, wet chemistry experiences at home and the potential impact of their absence upon student learning and engagement. This article shares the process and results of developing an appropriate, easy, inexpensive, safe,…

Xie, Charles; Li, Chenglu; Sung, Shannon; Jiang, Rundong – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many students lost opportunities to explore science in labs due to school closures. Remote labs provide a possible solution to mitigate this loss. However, most remote labs to date are based on a somehow centralized model in which experts design and conduct certain types of experiments in well-equipped facilities,…

This paper presents the case for how students can be helped to increase their scientific vocation by experimental work and the introduction of particle physics into pre-university studies. These two ideas are the two main lines of work of the ADMIRA initiative, which has been created by individuals belonging to different and complementary…

Zvorykin, Ilya Yu; Katkova, Mariia R.; Maslennikova, Yulia V. – Physics Education, 2022
In this article, we propose a simple and accessible model of a magnetic levitator fitted with a Hall sensor. This model also allows to determine the magnitude of the magnetic field within the levitator working volume. Students can also compare the experimental magnetic field values to reference values in magnetism textbooks. This Arduino-based…

Bulbul, Mustafa Sahin – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2022
This study was conducted with a student who is visually impaired and questioned the force of gravity. The different stages encountered in the process were specified as steps in the study and it was shared what kind of inquiry form was needed at each step. There are different activities such as waiting for a week and thought experiment in the…

Prempree Duangpummet; Supan Yodyingyong; Pirom Chenprakhon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A simple inquiry-based activity called "Fruit Puzzle" was designed to investigate high school students' understanding of the relationship between the concepts of density and solution concentration at a submicroscopic level. The first activity allowed students to predict whether five types of fruit would sink or float in water and asked…

Carrie Ann Sharitt; Michael J. Vanni – American Biology Teacher, 2023
Many high school students learn about nutrient cycling during biology, environmental science, and agriculture classes. These lessons often focus on soil and plants, and nutrient cycling is usually taught independently from climate change. Scientists know that animals, including fish, can have strong effects on nutrient cycling (i.e., nitrogen and…
