Daniel A. Mak; Sebastian Dunn; David Coombes; Carlo R. Carere; Jane R. Allison; Volker Nock; André O. Hudson; Renwick C. J. Dobson – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Enzymes are nature's catalysts, mediating chemical processes in living systems. The study of enzyme function and mechanism includes defining the maximum catalytic rate and affinity for substrate/s (among other factors), referred to as enzyme kinetics. Enzyme kinetics is a staple of biochemistry curricula and other disciplines, from molecular and…

Robson, Sue – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2012
Developing "Thinking and Understanding in Young Children" presents a comprehensive and accessible overview of contemporary theory and research about young children's developing thinking and understanding. Throughout this second edition, the ideas and theories presented are enlivened by transcripts of children's activities and conversations taken…

Metaxas, Nikolaos; Karagiannidou, Andromachi – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
Visualization of mathematical relationships enables students to formulate conjectures as well as to search for mathematical arguments to support these conjectures. In this project students are asked to discover the sufficient and necessary condition so that two circles form the circumscribed and inscribed circle of a triangle and investigate how…

Olsen, Robert J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
I describe how data pooling and data visualization can be employed in the first-semester general chemistry laboratory to introduce core statistical concepts such as central tendency and dispersion of a data set. The pooled data are plotted as a 1-D scatterplot, a purpose-designed number line through which statistical features of the data are…

Vachutka, J.; Grec, P.; Mornstein, V.; Caruana, C. J. – European Journal of Physics, 2008
The heating of tissues by diagnostic ultrasound can pose a significant hazard particularly in the imaging of the unborn child. The demonstration of the temperature field in tissue is therefore an important objective in the teaching of biomedical physics to healthcare professionals. The temperature field in a soft tissue model was made visible and…

Madden, Sean P.; Diaz, Ricardo – Mathematics Teacher, 2008
Middle and High school students of the twenty-first century possess surprising powers of spatial reasoning. They are assisted by technologies not available to earlier generations. Both of these assertions are demonstrated by students who are challenged with George Polya's classic Five Planes Problem. (Contains 5 figures.)
