Schneider, Laura B.; Wills, Kayce – Science and Children, 2021
This article describes a three-dimensional 5E (Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, Evaluation) lesson that investigates 3-LS4-1: Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived. A phenomena-based approach was used to engage third graders in the story of Maya, who…

DeLisi, Jacqueline; Kook, Janna F.; Levy, Abigail Jurist; Fields, Erica; Winfield, Lukas – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Science fairs have a long history in the United States and internationally. Their implementation varies greatly (Kook et al, 2020), yet few empirical studies have examined the outcomes of these experiences for student learning. Research indicates that authentic scientific inquiry that focus on students' agency in investigations can contribute to…

Pivac, Dunja; Zemunik, Maja – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2020
The self-portrait is a reflection of the personality in a visual, physical sense, as a concrete form, a summary of the external characteristics of the artist, but also in a psychological sense, when the self-portrait becomes a mediator of communication with the self, a medium of self-investigation. In this way, the self-portrait exists as a means…

Sönmez, Selami – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2018
Descartes expresses his opinion on the method very clear with the quote: "The whole secret of the method; starting from the circle and gradually going up the steps to the most complicated ". When it is thought that the knowledge of the absolute and unchanging truth in the positive sciences has not yet been reached, it should not be…

Campbell, Todd; Gray, Ron; Fazio, Xavier – School Science and Mathematics, 2019
This research explores how explaining an anchoring phenomena and engaging students in investigations, as central designs of a model-based inquiry (MBI) unit, afforded or constrained the representation of scientific activity in the science classroom. This research is considered timely as recent standards documents and scholars in the field have…

Susac, Ana; Planinic, Maja; Bubic, Andreja; Jelicic, Katarina; Ivanjek, Lana; Cvenic, Karolina Matejak; Palmovic, Marijan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Recognition of interference and diffraction patterns is a difficult task for both high-school and university students. Many students fail to observe important features of particular patterns and identify the differences among similar patterns. In this study, we investigated if performing students' investigative experiments can help high-school…

Kaya, Gökhan; Avan, Çagri – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2020
The inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach is at the core of contemporary science education programs and aims to enable students to conduct research. In this study, an IBL activity was developed based on scientific concepts related to the respiratory systems of fish and scientific investigation skills. The developed activity was implemented for 2…

Arnold, Pip; Pfannkuch, Maxine – set: Research Information for Teachers, 2020
Statistical investigations, a thread within the statistics strand of the mathematics and statistics learning area (Ministry of Education, 2007), are underpinned by the statistical enquiry cycle. As teachers introduce their students to the statistical enquiry cycle, they are supporting their students to become data detectives, posing and answering…

Weiland, Travis – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2017
Context is at the core of any statistical investigation, yet many statistics tasks barely require students to go beyond superficial consideration of the contexts the tasks are situated in. In this article, I discuss a framework for evaluating the level of interaction with context a task requires of students and how to modify tasks to increase the…

Cadeddu, L.; Cauli, A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
We deal with an application of partial differential equations to the correct definition of a wine cellar. We present some historical details about this problem. We also discuss how to build or renew a wine cellar, creating ideal conditions for the ageing process and improving the quality of wines. Our goal is to calculate the optimal depth…

Dunlop, Lynda; Turkenburg-van Diepen, Maria; Knox, Kerry J.; Bennett, Judith – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Open-ended investigative work is important for science at the high school level because it provides students with experiences approaching the authentic practice of scientists. In England context, some teachers provide opportunities for open-ended investigation, even though at post-16 (pre-university) A-Level they are no longer required to do so.…
