Curran, Mary Carla; Richlen, Mindy L. – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2019
Marine phytoplankton comprise the foundation of oceanic food webs and generate most of the Earth's oxygen. Of the many phytoplankton species in the ocean, a few dozen produce potent toxins, and at high concentrations can form what are called Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) or "red tides" that can discolor marine waters. Managers and…

Karaali, Gizem; Khadjavi, Lily S. – PRIMUS, 2019
We provide context and motivation for an instructor to use real-life examples in the calculus classroom. To this end we describe two specific project ideas, one related to the devastating impact of methylmercury fungicide in a grain seed supply and the other to a catastrophic methane leak. By using calculus in contexts that have social justice…

Waldron, Chad H.; Jamerson, Ja'Nel – Childhood Education, 2018
Crises of all types are often the inspiration for innovation, as communities seek solutions to the immediate problems they face. Sometimes a crisis is localized, as in the case of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, USA, and the local community is therefore the most highly motivated to innovate on behalf of their children's future.

Mack, Karin A.; Liller, Karen D.; Baldwin, Grant; Sleet, David – Health Education & Behavior, 2015
Injuries continue to be the leading cause of death for the first four decades of life. These injuries result from a confluence of behavioral, physical, structural, environmental, and social factors. Taken together, these illustrate the importance of taking a broad and multileveled approach to injury prevention. Using examples from fall, fire,…

Pakenham, Caroline; Olson, Bethany – National Association of State Boards of Education, 2021
By the time a child graduates from high school, they will have spent an estimated 15,600 hours at school. Because a significant amount of children's daily water intake comes from school water fountains, ensuring their access to safe drinking water at school is essential for their overall health. And one key health challenge that schools across the…

Hsiao, Hsien-Sheng; Tsai, Fu-Hsing; Hsu, I.-Ying – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
Past studies have suggested that young people lack knowledge regarding food safety, and that food safety education is appropriate for integration into science education since it often involves science knowledge. Thus, this study combined the methods of inquiry-based and game-based learning to develop a computer detective game, called the Poison…
