Shen, Jian; Deng, Shubo; Wu, Jing – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The undergraduates in the major of Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering frequently ignored the importance of identifying pollution sources for water environment monitoring and knew little about the techniques of identifying pollution sources. Thus, a laboratory experiment which focused on pollution sources identification in a water…

Rahayu, Sri; Treagust, David F.; Chandrasegaran, A. L. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
High school students learn the basic voltaic and electrolytic cell concepts during their last year prior to entering an undergraduate teacher-education science degree. During the 4 years of university, students complete a sequence of topics designed to build on conceptual understanding presented in previous years. At the end of their degrees,…

Reeves, Shalaunda; Imperial, Lorelie; Crippen, Kent – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2022
Pre-laboratory tasks are a best practice for preparing students for learning in the laboratory. Virtual labs, which use virtual reality to place students in an emulation of a physical laboratory where they have the capacity to manipulate equipment and materials as approximations of scientific practice, are emerging as an alternative to the…

Espinosa, J. A.; Ribas, F.; Lusquiños, F. – Physics Education, 2022
In order to fix some important concepts of Fundamental Physics, either because they are not usually discussed in depth in theoretical classes and much less at laboratories, or because they are not sufficiently developed in textbooks, it is more effective not to tackle them directly, but to propose a mental or practical experiment to attract the…

Vera, Francisco; Rivera, Rodrigo; Ortiz, Manuel; Horta-Rangel, Francisco Antonio – Physics Teacher, 2022
Electrification by rubbing different materials is a well-known phenomenon with a history that began more than five centuries B.C. ago. However, simple experiments can lead to contradictory or inconsistent results, and the history of this phenomena is plagued with non-intuitive results. For example, triboelectric charging by rubbing identical…

El-Tawargy, Ahmed S.; Ramadan, Wael A. – Physics Education, 2022
In this work, a simple rocking pendulum, in a circular arc shape, is presented. The idea is to put a rigid arc on a clean flat surface of glass and leave it to oscillate under the effect of a little impulse. Then, the periodic time of this arc pendulum's motion is experimentally determined. The mathematical analysis of the arc's motion is derived…

Ling Yuan; Chunxiao Meng; Huiyu Hou; Hongzhang Wang; Changwei Pan; Juan Ma; Chenghao Zhu; Qingyu Gao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Nonlinear chemical reactions produce interesting chemohydrodynamic patterns in an unstirred medium, which act as interesting demonstrations to display the novel phenomena in a nonequilibrium chemical system. Here, we report new outreach experiments: pH chemohydrodynamic patterns modulated by sodium polyacrylate in the bromate-sulfite-ferrocyanide…

Philip A. Kocheril; Makaela M. Jones; Jessica Z. Kubicek-Sutherland – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Raman scattering spectroscopies are important analytical tools in modern chemistry. Here, we describe the construction of the unamplified Raman scattering analysis (URSA) instrument: an inexpensive, open-table Raman spectrometer that uses a 532 nm diode-pumped laser as a light source. Upon application of this spectrometer to DNA extracted from…

Günter, Katerina Pia; Ahnesjö, Ingrid; Gullberg, Annica – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Higher education biology is often imagined, perceived, and described as having reached gender equality in terms of who gets to participate in disciplinary practices. However, like any other natural science discipline, higher education biology is a world whose landscapes are shaped by (re)productions of historical, cultural, and social norms. We…

Nyirahabimana, Pascasie; Minani, Evariste; Nduwingoma, Mathias; Kemeza, Imelda – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Physics education has been identified as one of the public sectors that are mostly influenced by technological developments. This paper adopted the quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design to assess the effects of multimedia-aided technologies (MAT) on undergraduate students' performance in quantum physics (QP) at the University of Rwanda…

Archila, Pablo Antonio; Truscott de Mejía, Anne-Marie; Restrepo, Silvia – Science & Education, 2023
In theory, there is broad agreement among science education stakeholders that supporting the achievement of scientific literacy is crucial for citizens to make informed and critical decisions about socioscientific issues (SSI). Likewise, it is widely held that argumentation is an important component of scientific literacy. In practice, however,…

Miles, Deon T.; Joslin, Evan E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
We have developed a new foundation-level course at our institution that links the concept of chemical equilibria from four of the traditional subdisciplines (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, and physical). The course, entitled Solution and Solid State Chemistry (CHEM 210), is designed to serve our chemistry and biochemistry majors, as well as…

Wong, Chee Leong; Chu, Hye-Eun; Yap, Kueh Chin – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2021
Studies have shown that inadequate definitions of scientific concepts could complicate the learning of science and could prevent students from understanding the definitions of scientific concepts. The article provides a framework for defining scientific concepts in primary, secondary, and university education by proposing teachers draw attention…

Goeltz, John C.; Cuevas, Lia A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Acid-base titration laboratories are perennially offered to general chemistry students in preparation for summative assessments of their hands-on and quantitative skills in the field. Here, we present a guided inquiry-based activity focused on total titratable acidity (TTA) as alternative to standard "cookbook" titration laboratory work.…

Queiroz, Salete Linhares; de Lima, Mikeas Silva; Lima dos Santos, Douglas Gomes – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
There has been an increase in the number of studies about educational scenarios aimed at promoting argumentation. Special attention is given to scenarios involving case studies. In this article, we report on the application of an interrupted case study to develop argumentation skills supported by information and communication technologies. The…
