Panorkou, Nicole; Germia, Erell Feb – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
Integrating mathematics content into science usually plays a supporting role, where students use their existing mathematical knowledge for solving science tasks without exhibiting any new mathematical meanings during the process. To help students explore the reciprocal relationship between math and science, we designed an instructional module that…

Kang, Houn Tae; Noh, Suk Goo – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2017
In this research, after extracting the pre-inquiries (student-level question) for which students had curiosity in the elementary science and analyzing their correlation with the elementary science curriculum, highly correlated inquiries (meaningful pre-inquiries) were selected and applied in class. After organizing an experiment group and a…

Morrissey, Taryn W.; Dunifon, Rachel E.; Kalil, Ariel – Child Development, 2011
Previous work has shown that mothers' employment is associated with increases in children's body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight for height. Nonstandard work (working evenings or nights, weekends, or an irregular shift) may also be associated with children's BMI. This article examines the association between maternal work and children's BMI…
