Owens, David C.; Greer, Kania; Thaler, Mary – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2023
Kids are drawn to dolls and dump trucks, and crashing the two together might just be a child's favorite pastime. Who knew such a simple pleasure could serve as an accessible, compelling phenomenon for instigating investigations of force and motion. With a few inexpensive materials straight out of the toy box (literally, a doll, a dump truck, a…

Nieh, Hwa-Ming; Chen, Huai-Yi – Physics Teacher, 2023
The Arduino microcontroller is currently one of the favorite tools of makers, and many teachers have used it in teaching or experiments. In addition, light-emitting diode (LED) smart lighting is the worldwide trend in lighting. There are many teaching demonstrations or applications of color addition using LEDs. Furthermore, the Internet of Things…

Gericke, Niklas; Mc Ewen, Birgitta – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
The aim of this study is to define epigenetic literacy and describe how it can be included in school biology. Epigenetics is a new field of research in biology with abundant societal consequences and conceptual implications on how genetics is understood. Epigenetics explains how genes are regulated, thereby clarifying cell differentiation, and…

Thomas K. Green; Matthew Vanagel; Anil Damarancha; Brandon Showalter; Scott J. Novick; Harvinder Chagger Maniar – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Stereoselective reduction of ketones to alcohols using baker's yeast is a classic experiment in the undergraduate laboratory. Here we illustrate the reduction of racemic ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxobutanoate to the corresponding alcohol using a set of four commercially available ketoreductases (KREDs). The reaction sets two stereocenters with four…

Hendra Y. Agustian; Bente Gammelgaard; Muhammad Aswin Rangkuti; Jonas Niemann – Science Education, 2025
Affect and emotions matter to science learning. They also matter because they are integral to science identity formation and sense of belonging. This study aims to foreground the epistemic and affective character of laboratory work in higher science education by conceptualizing it as epistemic practice, in which students activate their body and…

Nasser Mansour; Ceren Aras; Judith Kleine Staarman; Sarah Bader Mohsen Alotaibi – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Augmented Reality (AR) revolutionizes educational approaches by providing an immersive experience that superimposes virtual 3D elements onto the physical environment. This integration of virtual and real worlds addresses the challenge of understanding abstract concepts by enabling three-dimensional visualization and interaction. This study aims to…

Carol Rentas; Ramapoza O'Dwyer; Rohini Ganjoo; Marcia A. Firmani; Cliff Cymrot; Yousif Barzani; Lisa S. Schwartz – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2025
This study explored the relationships between English language proficiency and performance in online, asynchronous science courses. Each participant completed a Language Background Questionnaire (LBQ) to indicate if English was not their native language, thus categorizing them as an English Language Learner (ELL). The Combined English Language…

Vaille Dawson – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Internationally, there are calls for students to be able to use their scientific understandings to make informed decisions about the world in which they live. Using a mixed methods case study design, this study investigated the impact of behaviours and strategies used by two early career science teachers who taught argumentation about a…

Miriam Marianna Ortiz – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In response to the global crisis of type 2 diabetes prevalence, this dissertation investigated the impact of a culturally sustaining, health-centric science curriculum contextualized in type 2 diabetes. Using a case study methodology, it explored how the curriculum shaped math and science preservice teachers' (PSTs) perceptions of science and how…

Sarah F. Stallings – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Despite reform efforts and calls to accept science as a primary subject in elementary school curriculum and instruction (NRC 2007, 2012), science is still often neglected, deprioritized, minimally taught, or taught through traditional methods where teachers and textbooks are the gatekeepers of knowledge (Banilower, 2019; Banilower et al., 2018;…

Brian Shambare; Clement Simuja – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2024
The advantage of VLs lies in their capacity for simulating real-world lab experiences within a fully immersive digital environment, yet the uptake in rural schools in developing countries remains low. To understand this paradox, this study explores the perceptions of seven secondary school science teachers in a rural district in South Africa.…

Daryna Piontkivska; João M. P. Jorge; Rita Neves; Pedro Crespo; Renata Ramalho; Cristina Silva Pereira – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Fungi mostly reproduce through spores that are adapted for airborne dispersal; hence, fungal spores (and fungi) are found virtually everywhere. Fungi can be "friends or foes." Our friends include fungi used in the food and biotech industries, fungi that contribute to the cycling of carbon and nutrients, and those involved in the…

Pierre Benz; Felix Bühlmann – Minerva: A Review of Science, Learning and Policy, 2024
The past decade has been marked by a series of global crises, presenting an opportunity to reevaluate the relationship between science and politics. The biological sciences are instrumental in understanding natural phenomena and informing policy decisions. However, scholars argue that current scientific expertise often fails to account for entire…
