Direct linkValle, R.; Neves, F.; de Andrade, R., Jr.; Stephan, R. M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
This paper presents a teaching experiment that explores the levitation of a disc of ferromagnetic material in the presence of the magnetic field produced by a single electromagnet. In comparison to the classical experiment of the levitation of a sphere, the main advantage of the proposed laboratory bench is that the uniform magnetic field…

Falk, Ruma; Yudilevich-Assouline, Patricia; Elstein, Adily – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2012
Children had to choose one of two urns--each comprising beads of winning and losing colours--from which to draw a winning bead. Three experiments, aimed at diagnosing rules of choice and designed without confounding possible rules with each other, were conducted. The level of arithmetic difficulty of the trials was controlled so as not to distort…

Cross, Rod – Physics Teacher, 2012
The first recorded experiments describing the phenomena made popular by Newton's cradle appear to be those conducted by Edme Mariotte around 1670. He was quoted in Newton's "Principia," along with Wren, Wallis, and Huygens, as having conducted pioneering experiments on the collisions of pendulum balls. Each of these authors concluded that momentum…

Galli, J. Ronald; Amiri, Farhang – Physics Teacher, 2012
A thought experiment that includes a square light clock is similar to the traditional vertical light beam and mirror clock, except it is made up of four mirrors placed at a 45[degree] angle at each corner of a square of length L[subscript 0], shown in Fig. 1. Here we have shown the events as measured in the rest frame of the square light clock. By…

Wheeler, Lindsay; Bell, Randy – Science Teacher, 2012
Inquiry has a reputation for being a great way for students to learn but difficult for teachers to implement. It does not have to be that way. Inquiry comes in many forms, which can be adapted for any science classroom at any point in the year for any level of student. In this article the authors describe how to help chemistry students develop a…

van Gompel, Roger P. G.; Arai, Manabu; Pearson, Jamie – Journal of Memory and Language, 2012
Three structural priming experiments investigated how monotransitive and intransitive structures are represented. Experiment 1 showed that priming from intransitives was stronger when the verb was the same in prime and target than when it was different, but monotransitive priming was unaffected by verb repetition. We argue that the activation of…

Galea, Simone – Ethics and Education, 2012
The use of narratives in making oneself known to others has various political and ethical aims. Narrative is considered to be effective in revealing the particular knowledge of differently positioned persons that have been subjugated. It is hoped that through these subjects' representations of their differently situated lives and selves, dominant…

Kuo, Yung-Lung; Lee, Jiann-Shu; Hsieh, Min-Chai – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2014
Eye and head movements evoked in response to obvious visual attention shifts. However, there has been little progress on the causes of absent-mindedness so far. The paper proposes an attention awareness system that captures the conditions regarding the interaction of eye gaze and head pose under various attentional switching in computer classroom.…

Kraus, Rudolf V. – Science Teacher, 2014
This article describes a two-day optics laboratory activity that investigates the scientific phenomenon of reflection, which students are generally familiar with but usually have not studied in depth. This investigation can be used on its own or as part of a larger unit on optics. This lesson encourages students to think critically and…

Lietor-Santos, Juan Jose – Physics Teacher, 2014
The study of the ideal solenoid is a common topic among introductory-based physics textbooks and a typical current arrangement in laboratory hands-on experiences where the magnetic field inside a solenoid is determined at different currents and at different distances from its center using a magnetic probe. It additionally provides a very simple…

Temiz, Burak Kagan – Physics Education, 2014
This study was conducted to develop a simple and inexpensive experimental apparatus that can measure the position of an object moving along a straight line at certain time intervals. For the construction of the apparatus, a battery-powered toy car, a fine-tipped paint brush, gouache (or watercolour) paint and paper tape were used. The working…

Chilton, Gioia; Scotti, Victoria – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2014
This article describes an artistic inquiry conducted by two art therapists using a dialogic method of collage and letter writing over a period of 4 weeks. The goal of the project was to broaden understanding of arts-based research and to discover the properties of collage as a research practice in art therapy. A thematic analysis of the visual and…

Tracy, Charles; Cunningham, Elizabeth – Education in Science, 2014
This article reports on a plea directed to schools in England that changed status to an "academy" and thus lost their Local Authority Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) service. These schools have been encouraged to do all that they can to hang on to their sources (radioactive equipment used in classroom experiments to investigate…

Stock, Naomi L.; March, Raymond E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is a powerful technique for the detection, identification, and quantification of organic compounds. As mass spectrometers have become more user-friendly and affordable, many students--often with little experience in mass spectrometry--find themselves needing to incorporate mass spectrometry into…
