Gibson, Adam P.; Chandra, Elizabeth; Chandra, Manik – Physics Education, 2009
We have measured blood oxygenation levels in a group of 14 people (8 young people and 6 adults) on a physically demanding expedition to Mt Kenya. Blood oxygenation was measured at 11 different altitudes between 1910 and 4985 m using pulse oximetry. We found that pulse oximetry was suitable for use on a youth expedition and we were able to show…

Akatugba, Ayo A.; Wallace, John – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999
Key aspects of student difficulty with proportional reasoning can be understood only when the social and cultural contexts in which it is embedded are considered. A constructivist, interpretive case study provided insights into physics students' associations between cultural heritage, world views, societal expectations, authoritarianism,…
