Dyrli, Odvard E. – Roeper Review, 1982
To introduce right brain activities into the elementary school curriculum, science activities were generated for gifted children in which every item for investigation was made from a three-by-five card. Three major steps were repeated in developing activities: copying materials, adapting materials, and inventing materials. (SW)

Engblom-Bradley, Claudette; Reyes, Maria Elena – Science and Children, 2004
Summertime in Alaska offers students many options for science projects. The brief season offers an opportunity to explore plant life, wildlife, environmental phenomena, and various other science and social science topics. Most of the research conducted at the camp could not be done during students' regular academic year due to Alaska's harsh…

Wagler, Ron; Moseley, Christine – Science Scope, 2005
The Madagascar hissing cockroach (MHC) provides an excellent avenue to introduce students to the joys of inquiry-centered learning. MHC's are relatively tame, produce little odor, do not bite, and are easy to handle and breed. Because of these characteristics, they are ideal for classroom activities, science projects, and as pets. They also help…

Harlen, Wynne – School Science Review, 2013
This article focuses on the role of the Association for Science Education (ASE) in supporting and developing policy and practice in primary school science. It first sets the events after the formation of ASE in 1963 in the context of what went before. It then takes a mainly chronological view of some, but by no means all, of ASE's activities…

Collins, Robert – Primary Science, 2013
Interconnectedness changes lives. It can even save lives. Recently the author got to witness and be part of something in his role as a teacher of primary science that has changed lives: it may even have saved lives. It involved primary science teaching--and the climate. Robert Collins describes how it is all interconnected. The "Toilet…

Poulin, Jessica; Ramamurthy, Bina; Dittmar, Katharina – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2013
Population genetics is fundamental to understanding evolutionary theory, and is taught in most introductory biology/evolution courses. Many students are unaware that understanding this topic requires pertinent knowledge
of mathematics and consequently struggle with the subject. As a response to this problem, a virtual tool (Pop!World) was…

Ang, Eng-Tat; Sugand, Kapil; Hartman, Mikael; Seow, Choon-Sheong; Bay, Boon-Huat; Abrahams, Peter – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2012
The disciplines of anatomy and surgery are not dichotomous since one is dependent on the other. Traditionally, surgeons predominantly taught gross and clinical anatomy. In this review, we examine the context of how human anatomy is taught nowadays. In essence, we discovered that there are certain discernable trends consistently observable between…
