Amir, Nazir; Abdullah, Nor'Aini Bte – Physics Education, 2021
A way to promote student interest and engagement in physics is by capitalizing on students' skills in arts and crafts to design and make physics-based toys. This article illustrates how two students (averaging 14 years of age) in the authors' science class designed and fabricated a variation of a physics-based teaching aid that demonstrates the…

Hai, Tuong Duy; Tra, Do Huong – African Educational Research Journal, 2014
A new trend in the field of teaching nowadays is context-based learning which is embedded with real life of learners; our education system is not an exception. This method will stimulate learners' inspiration towards school subjects, especially natural sciences domains because today's students tend to less interested into these fields. In this…

Heldt, Caryn L.; Bank, Alex; Turpeinen, Dylan; King, Julia A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2016
The need to increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates is great. To interest more students into STEM degrees, we made our graphene biosensor research portable, inexpensive, and safe to demonstrate technology development to high school students. The students increased their knowledge of biosensors and proteins, and…

Gordon, Neil – Teaching Science, 2016
Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education (CASE) on the Sunshine Coast is growing rapidly. It has expanded from one inaugural Year 8 class in 2012 to the current state of play with the involvement of over 3,000 CASE students from eleven Sunshine Coast State High Schools. It is being taught by more than seventy CASE teachers with…

Langley, Mark – School Science Review, 2014
Science is at heart a practical subject, but the perception of what makes good teaching and learning through practical science is often misunderstood. Through working with teachers on professional development courses at the UK's National Science Learning Centre, and drawing on work carried out by other organisations, we present some thoughts and…

Kaser, Joyce S.; Dougherty, Michael J.; Bourexis, Patricia S. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2013
Funding agencies and the science education community at large have pursued strategies for increasing K-12 outreach by scientists and for improving instructional practices in higher education classrooms. However, the simultaneous achievement of both goals is generally not a target for single projects or even single programs. A 4-year project…
