MoleculeCrafter is a novel tool that facilitates the custom creation of flexible and modular macromolecular model kits. These models support student chemical education by providing a manipulable and visuospatial tool to facilitate exploration of chemical structures and their interactions. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate using…

In recent years, 3D printing technology or 3D printing models have become a powerful educational tool used in many fields such as medicine, engineering and science. However, research on the integration of these technologies into formal educational environments and the researches examining their effect on students' learning biology is quite…

This study proposes a project-based learning methodology that emphasises technical research with the active participation of schoolchildren. The study focuses on ecological conservation using ceramic slurry 3D printing technology. It is categorised into two distinctive technical and educational aspects. The technical aspect deals with reverse…

Three-dimensional (3D) pens are emerging educational tools that enable users to create tangible, freeform 3D printed models. However, their pedagogical potential in science education remains underexplored. This study examined preservice teachers' experiences using 3D pens to create models for primary biology and chemistry education, focusing on…
