Brannon, Jacob P.; Ramirez, Isaac; Williams, DaShawn; Barding, Gregory A., Jr.; Liu, Yan; McCulloch, Kathryn M.; Chandrasekaran, Perumalreddy; Stieber, S. Chantal E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Experimental methods for determining 3-D atomic structures, such as crystallography, are rarely taught in the undergraduate curriculum, yet are considered to be the norm for 3-D structure determination in a research setting. Although a fully physical understanding of crystallography takes years of practice, practical applications and basic…

Crowe, Charles D.; Hendrickson-Stives, Albanie K.; Kuhn, Stephanie L.; Jackson, Jennifer B.; Keating, Christine D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The interaction between water and surfaces is observed in our daily lives and is used in laboratories to study materials properties, such as interfacial tension. Making the connection between fundamental scientific phenomena and everyday observations is a powerful method of highlighting the importance and relevance of science to the K-12…

Katsio-Loudis, Petros; Jones, Millie – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2015
Many articles have been published on the use of 3D printing technology. From prefabricated homes and outdoor structures to human organs, 3D printing technology has found a niche in many fields, but especially education. With the introduction of AutoCAD technical drawing programs and now 3D printing, learners can use 3D printed models to develop…

Zakrzewski, Jennifer L. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
In this article, middle school mathematics teacher Jennifer Zakrzewski describes how she successfully incorporated iPads and Apple TV (for projection of iPad screens) into her classroom while having her students solve a problem about mangoes. As Zakrzewski began a unit on multiplying and dividing fractions, she chose to start with the Mangoes…

Carey, Gale – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2010
Metabolism is a dynamic, simultaneous, and integrative science that cuts across nutrition, biochemistry, and physiology. Teaching this science can be a challenge. The use of a scenario-based, visually appealing, interactive, computer-animated CD may overcome the limitations of learning "one pathway at a time" and engage two- and…

Brickman, Peggy; Ketter, Catherine A. Teare; Pereira, Monica – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2005
Although electronic instructional media are becoming increasingly prevalent in science classrooms, their worth remains unproven. Here, student perceptions and performance using CD-ROM delivery of lab materials are assessed. Numerous learning barriers that produced lower lab grades for students using a CD-ROM lab manual in comparison to a print…

Hillis, Peter – Learning, Media and Technology, 2008
The momentum gathering behind authentic learning/critical skills raises fundamental issues concerning teaching and learning. This article discusses some of the more general arguments surrounding authentic learning with particular reference to an in-depth evaluation of its impact on schools in one part of Great Britain. It then moves on to describe…

Van Petegem, Peter; De Loght, Toby; Shortridge, Ann M. – E-Journal of Instructional Science and Technology, 2004
For centuries traditional university education has primarily focused on building foundational skills in particular disciplines via the transfer of knowledge from instructor to student. Today however, simply being able to reproduce knowledge is no longer adequate; students must also be able to apply their knowledge to changing, real world contexts.…
