Mehl, Cathy Ellen; Jin, Hui; Llort, Kenneth F. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Argumentation is an important component of scientific education (Osborne, 2010). However, how students create and evaluate competing arguments in scientific investigations is a complex construct, which presents significant challenges for assessment. We engaged 349 middle and high school students in a virtual scientific investigation based on an…

Anderson, Sherry – Science Scope, 2005
With a satisfying "Whoompf!" the air cannon sends a tennis ball the length of the school gym. The successful launch is met with cheers from the science club members and their partners--college engineering students from a local university. This air cannon activity was one of many learning opportunities that grew out of a partnership…
