Kazuki Yotsumoto; Masayuki Inoue – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In primary organic chemistry, students learn about the dehydration of ethanol to ethylene with concentrated sulfuric acid. Similar reactions(the dehydration of alcohols) exist in nature. For example, various alkenes with aromas are synthesized from linalool, a monoterpene tertiary alcohol. In this laboratory experiment, we report experiments…

Palacios Gómez, Jesús; Villagómez, Roque André Eleazar Arroyo – Physics Teacher, 2023
Here, a relatively simple laboratory experiment of a physical pendulum, suitable for students of science and engineering in the first courses of university physics, is presented to illustrate its dynamic behavior and to determine its inertia moment. To this end, a long wooden rod of length L = 99.8 cm and cross-section radius R = 1.73 cm was used…

Shun Iwasaki; Satoki Kodani; Yuto Zushi; Mito Hotta; Masami Hara; Tomoyuki Tatsuoka; Nobuyoshi Koga – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In this laboratory experiment, a guided inquiry exploring the physicochemical principles of the dissolution of Ca(OH)[subscript 2](s) in water is proposed for laboratory classes in university and high school. As part of students' inquiry, two experimental approaches are used. One is the change in solubility with temperature revealed by measuring…

Mikaela Sadri; Paul Smith; Samaria Spears; Jonathan Perkins; Carl Dewitt; Shane Savannah; Cameron Butler; Zhe Qiang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Plastic waste is a growing concern in recent years due to the massive increase in single-use plastic applications. Despite the ever-increasing amount of waste, recycling plastics is not a simple process due to difficulties in sorting, which results in significantly downgraded material properties. This hands-on lab experiment showcases the…

Mable Moloi; Mogalatjane Edward Matabane – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2024
Digital practical work (DPW) has emerged as a highly effective and indispensable component of science education, enhancing and extending traditional laboratory experiences. DPW aims to complement physical laboratory experiments, particularly those that teachers may find challenging to conduct or lack the confidence to perform. In this study, a…

Bruna Navarone Santos; Lucia de La Rocque; Isabela Cabral Félix de Sousa; Tokie Anme – Journal of International Students, 2025
In this paper, we investigate how cultural, historical, and emotional factors influence scientific concepts in Brazil's Scientific Vocation Program (Provoc) and Japan's Sakura Science Program. It analyzes how Western and Eastern views of science might shape program goals through high school students' reports. Science education, history and…

Joseph Chiarelli; Melissa A. St. Hilaire; Brandi L. Baldock; Jimmy Franco; Stephen Theberge; Anthony L. Fernandez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
There is a growing need for chemistry students to be able to handle and manipulate large datasets and analyze them in an efficient and accessible way. This creates the need to develop course materials that introduce these topics early in the undergraduate curriculum. To address this growing need, this activity introduced RStudio to students…

Sophie Curbo; Annica Lindkvist; Catharina Hultgren – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2025
Many educational institutions transitioned to digital distance-based learning and assessment formats in 2020 due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome--coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. This shift has often been associated with concerns about increased student cheating and heightened stress. In this study, we compared the major course…

Vanessa Cappelle; Luiz Gustavo Franco; Danusa Munford – Science & Education, 2025
The paper reports how a teacher and her students use drawings as a resource for observations and how such observations are connected to different epistemic practices in science lessons. Interactional data in a 1st grade classroom were analyzed based on Ethnography in Education. Results show that the use of drawings materialized children's…

Sevgi Aydin-Günbatar; Gillian H. Roehrig – Science & Education, 2025
With the release of Framework for K-12 Science Education (National Research Council, 2012) and Next Generation Science Standards (2013) documents, engineering was integrated into science teaching. With that emphasis, teachers require to incorporate engineering practices and nature of engineering into their practice. Most of the attention has been…

Annisa Ulfa Yana; Supriyono Koes-Handayanto; Sahal Fawaiz; Fauzul Rizal – Journal of Learning for Development, 2025
Procedural and conceptual e-scaffolding has been shown to be effective for assisting novice learners in understanding new concepts. Its integration with modelling instructions (E-MI) raises expectations for improving scientific reasoning (SR) in students whose level is still a concern in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to find…

In the face of accelerating climate change, effective education is paramount to fostering informed citizens and enacting meaningful action. Effective climate instruction contextualizes content so that students are engaged emotionally (affect) and can translate science into action. This paper describes six courses that use integrated approaches to…
