Direct linkBertram Schmidkonz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Simple, often artificial problems are normally preferred for introductory lab courses and are restricted to indoor participation. Microtitrations make it possible to leave the lab and study water chemistry directly in the natural environment. An exemplary outdoor challenge is presented here: travertine formation is context-rich, has to be examined…

Smit, Robbert; Robin, Nicolas; De Toffol, Christina; Atanasova, Sanja – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Industry-school partnerships offer authentic learning opportunities and can support the development of students' interest in a STEM career. The expectancy-value model of achievement-related choice can help to explain how several factors influence career choice. Interest-enjoyment values and attainment values are most important in students'…

Hill, David J.; Williams, Olivia F.; Mizzy, Danianne P.; Triumph, Therese F.; Brennan, Catherine R.; Mason, Dawn C.; Lawrence, David S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A laboratory-safety course has been developed that is designed to introduce first-year graduate students to the array of dangers associated with research in the chemical sciences. We describe the challenges of creating an impactful course that seeks to convey practical laboratory-safety information in a classroom setting for students with a…

Are students more engaged and do they perform better in science if their school encourages them to work on science projects, participate in science fairs, belong to a science-related club or go on science-related field trips--in addition to teaching them the mandatory science curriculum? To find out, PISA (Programme for International Student…

Possick, Jennifer – Science and Children, 2007
In this article, the authors' kindergarteners and a fellow first-grade class turned their hallway into a forest! Not just any mural, this culmination of a month-long project was based on observing, questioning, taking field trips, conducting library research (including the internet) and asking experts. The students developed skills in forming…

Adney, Cara – Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J3), 2012
A world away from the red dirt of Oklahoma, David Shields and Shelly Smith felt right at home. A national grant took the Meridian Technology Center automotive teachers on a trip to Germany that car lovers only dream about. The tour to the major automakers last summer has them geared up and bringing fresh ideas to the classroom. They spent four…

Mehrizi-Sani, A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
A summer academy is held for grade 9-12 high school students at the University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, every year. The academy, dubbed the Da Vinci Engineering Enrichment Program (DEEP), is a diverse program that aims to attract domestic and international high school students to engineering and sciences (and possibly recruit them). DEEP…
