Courtney Devera; Cassidy Fine; Kerri L. Shelton; Rajeev B. Dabke – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Many simple chemical reactions produce an audible fizz due to the formation of gases, such as oxygen, hydrogen, or carbon dioxide. A hands-on activity based on perceiving these audible chemical changes is presented. The relative quality of fizz due to the formation of gases in a chemical reaction was determined by visually impaired middle and high…

Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…

Sustaining a broad diversity of plants is key for a sustainable future. For instance, providing a variety of flowering plants in urban and agricultural landscapes mitigates the current decline of pollinators and biodiversity in general. Therefore, educating about the diversity of flowering plants has high current relevance for biology and…

Peter Nagy; Areej Mawasi; Ed Finn; Ruth Wylie – Science & Education, 2025
In this paper, we present findings from an exploratory qualitative study that investigated how hands-on activities can help learners think of socioscientific issues more concretely. These activities borrowed themes, such as the responsibilities of creators and limits of scientific exploration from the culturally ubiquitous Frankenstein story to…

Butcher, Kirsten R.; Hudson, Michelle; Lane, McKenna; Larson, Madlyn – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2023
This paper examines how practicing teachers approach and evaluate students' critical thinking processes in science, using the implementation of an online, inquiry-based investigation in middle school classrooms as the context for teachers' observations. Feedback and ratings from three samples of science teachers were analysed to determine how they…

Nearly 14 million species are estimated to exist on Earth, of which 1.8 million have been identified, and new species are being added to the world of science every day. Therefore, scientists are aware that there are still unidentified species living globally. Biodiversity is a wide concept encompassing all living things in our living space. This…
