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…

Laura Fattal; Lynn Needle – Journal of Dance Education, 2024
Climate change is a contemporary global crisis that necessitates pedagogical innovation for the middle school dance classroom. This article describes an integrated design for a dance and science unit. Building on students' kinesthetic abilities, teachers are able to create a unit comprising a series of lessons on bird migrations effected by…

Huizhu Zhang; Zhenhua Chen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In this paper, we propose a novel method for deriving Russell-Saunders terms of complex atomic systems with an arbitrary number of equivalent electrons in orbitals with a higher azimuthal number. The method can be regarded as an extension of the classic works of Douglas, McDaniel, and Hyde but with several notable improvements, including the…

Simon C. Cork; Emma Yhnell – Discover Education, 2024
The educational benefit of the traditional didactic lecture to learners in Higher Education is hotly debated. Given increasing student numbers, existing technical set ups and many logistical concerns, lectures remain the norm in many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). In this personal view piece, we discuss the benefits, opportunities, and…

Deborah Hanuscin; Emily Borda; Josie Melton; Jamie N. Mikeska – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Research on teacher educators' professional learning has gained increasing interest within science education. Curriculum materials have been suggested as a means of supporting "teacher" learning for several decades but have not yet been examined as a potential tool for supporting the learning of "teacher educators." In this…

Da-Zhi Tan; Ming-Ze Li; Wan-nan Xiong; Yi-Xuan Xu; Yang Pan; Wen-Jie Fan; Wen-Feng Jiang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The preparation of ethyl acetoacetate is a distinctive, century-old classic organic chemistry laboratory project. Ethyl acetate and sodium metal (sodium ethoxide) are reacted by Claisen ester condensation to produce the sodium salt of ethyl acetoacetate and then obtain the refined product by acidification as well as washing, drying, and…

Valeria Edelsztein; Claudio Cormick – Science & Education, 2025
In this article, we tackle the phenomenon of what seems to be a misunderstanding between science education theory and philosophy of science--one which does not seem to have received any attention in the literature. While there seems to be a consensus within the realm of science education on limiting or altogether denying the explanatory role of…

David A. de Wolf – European Journal of Physics Education, 2023
This work gathers in one place what is pertinent about the connections between metric coefficients, basis- and unit vectors in a four-dimensional relativistic manifold. Some of this material can be found scattered elsewhere; its collection into one place reveals connections that either are not known or are obscure, for example that the metric…

Scott E. Van Bramer; Loyd D. Bastin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This paper describes a data set of IR, MS, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, DEPT, and 2D NMR spectra designed for undergraduate teaching. The data files are provided as MestReNova documents containing all the available spectra for each of the 251 different compounds in the data set. The spectral data in these files can be processed, manipulated, copied, and…

Natália Cristina Zanotelli; Rodrigo Vieira Rodrigues; Ronan Farias Freire de Souza; Sílvia Denofre de Campos; Élvio Antônio de Campos – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Reactions between metal carbonates from d[superscript 5] to d[superscript 10] systems and glutamic acid are used to obtain molecular metal complexes and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). When the ligand is an amino acid, these MOFs belong to the BioMOF class (metal-organic frameworks for biological and medical applications). The metal carbonates of…

Lianwen Zhu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
A chemistry laboratory experiment is described to introduce undergraduate college students to membrane separation technology. This experiment combines a simple nanowire membrane fabrication and visually indicated molecule separation. The membrane is produced via coprecipitation synthesis followed by a filtration assembly process, which can be…

Denny, Mark – Physics Teacher, 2022
A classical mechanical structure with an internal degree of freedom is shown to reflect off a potential well. Such behavior is impossible for point-like or rigid classical particles. This numerical study provides insight for students studying internal energy and degrees of freedom.

Cross, Rod – Physics Education, 2022
If a ball rolls in a circular path on a horizontal surface at constant speed then its horizontal rotation axis changes direction with time. A simple experiment is presented showing that the torque applied to the ball is equal to the rate of change of its angular momentum, even though the magnitudes of its angular velocity and angular momentum…

Blythe E. Anderson – Reading Teacher, 2024
Vocabulary knowledge plays a critical role in supporting text comprehension and broader learning across the school day. While school offers opportunities to build vocabulary knowledge, studies have shown that very little time is devoted to vocabulary instruction at the elementary level. This may be, in part, because educators commonly report being…

Inêz, Tiago Guimarães; de Lacerda Brito, Breno Pascal; El-Hani, Charbel N. – Science & Education, 2023
It has been shown that many people do not understand how scientific knowledge is built and accepted, even after scientific education. One way to deal with this problem is through teaching about the Nature of Science (NOS). NOS can be understood as a pedagogical construct aiming to foster the understanding of the main characteristics of scientific…
