Zachary T. Barnes; Ashley A. Edwards; Susanne Strachota; Yi Feng; Jessica Logan – Infant and Child Development, 2024
A student's socioeconomic status (SES) has a significant relation to their academic achievement. Much of this work has explored this in math and reading, but less is known about how SES relates to science achievement, particularly in the early grades. Using quantile regression with nationally representative data, we explored this relation in…

Danielsson, Kristina; Jeppsson, Fredrik; Nestlog, Ewa B.; Tang, Kok-Sing – Science Education, 2023
This study reports on a case study about multimodal work in a primary physics classroom focusing on forces. Previous research reports that students benefit from multimodal work in science classrooms. Yet, few systematic studies have been performed to reveal how students represent their experiences and ideas of science phenomena over time within…

Chambers, Paul – Primary Science, 2022
It can be a continual struggle to develop interesting and engaging experiments for use in primary schools, especially when related to electrical phenomena. Most people are familiar with the phenomenon of charged objects picking up paper or attracting hair, but there are number of simple and highly engaging activities within this area that are…

Smith, Madeline M.; Cavagnetto, Andy R. – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
With limited time for science, using science trade books for science and language instruction has become more common in elementary schools. Studies show that trade books often neglect scientific practices. Yet previous analyses have not differentiated by targeted grade level nor by book type. Do some grade levels and types of books highlight…

Rodgers, Ben – Primary Science, 2022
When any object, such as a glass of water, a greenhouse or the Earth's atmosphere, stays at a steady temperature, the amount of energy entering the object is equal to the amount of energy leaving it. This is considered in equilibrium. This equilibrium changes when the amount of energy entering does not equal the amount of energy leaving.…

Fischer, Jean-Paul; Luxembourger, Christophe – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Young children, who are exposed to Latin script letters, experience difficulties in distinguishing between the reversible letters b and d and may therefore transform b into d (and vice versa). When children begin to write, in cultures with left-to-right writing/reading systems, they also often turn Arabic digits in the direction of…

Richards, Walter Bruce – Physics Teacher, 2021
Einstein's special theory of relativity includes many non-intuitive and apparently paradoxical conclusions about space and time. One of these is time dilation, the fact that a clock moving relative to an observer runs slower than an identical clock at rest in the observer's reference frame. This is clearly exhibited in the extended mean lifetime…

Tracey-Ann Palmer; Emily Booth – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2024
This literature review offers compelling evidence for the significant role music and song can play in cultivating student engagement in elementary school science lessons. With students disengaging from science education, there is concern about the lack of necessary scientific literacy skills required in today's world. To explore whether music and…

Jrène Rahm – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: A move beyond static and representational accounts of science learning and becoming through relations is needed. Purpose: In this paper extra-learning activities in science offered by a community organization to an elementary class over one academic school year are assessed in light of their contributions to science learning and…

Ene Ernst Hoppe; Henriette Tolstrup Holmegaard – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
This paper originates from experiences of low participation in science teaching in primary school during ethnographic fieldwork. Focusing on these observations and inspired by other studies conceptualising non-participation, this paper examines how non-participation is shaped and produced in primary school science. Drawing on ethnographic…
