Ürek, Handan – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
Germinating a seed is presumably the first experiment made by a child in his life. So, it has an important place both in child's scientific experience and understanding. Despite the significance of the experiment, the literature indicates that students possess various misconceptions related to the concepts of seed and seed germination. So, it is…

Oztas Cin, Merve; Yurumezoglu, Kemal – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
In this study, a process was designed, in which a lemon seed grew into a seedling, using the inquiry-based science learning approach. This aimed to increase the overall development of the scientific process skills of children and their sensitivity to nature. The germination, growth and development of a plant were meticulously and systematically…

Germination, Early Development, and Creativity in the Acquisition of the Yucatec Maya Deictic System
Espinosa Ochoa, Mary Rosa – Journal of Child Language, 2022
The Yucatec Maya language has a highly complex deictic system with interesting typological differences that in addition to demonstratives and locative adverbs also includes ostensive evidentials and modal adverbs. Given that deictic words are among the first that children produce, the aim of this study is to identify the early acquisition that…

Morris, John; Winter, Margie – American Biology Teacher, 2021
We describe a series of three experiments in which students develop a model system for measuring the LC50 of household substances, using grass seed as the model organism. Students use statistical methods to compare two samples (using chi-square and Student's "t"-tests), conduct a two-level multifactor experiment to look at multiple…

Demir Kaçan, Sibel – Journal of Education and Practice, 2015
This study was conducted with the participation of 31 pre-service science teachers. Participants were asked to develop various research questions on germination. The study aims to examine research questions on the subject germination from the perspective of scientific creativity. The research questions were examined using the fluency, science…

Rojanarata, Theerasak; Plianwong, Samarwadee; Opanasopit, Praneet; Ngawhirunpat, Tanasait – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
The enrichment of plant foods with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is currently an interesting issue in the field of nutraceuticals and can be used as an experiment for upper-division undergraduate students. Here, an interdisciplinary hands-on experiment to produce GABA-enriched mung bean sprouts using common household reagents is described. Based…

Simsekli, Yeter – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2018
In this study, it was aimed to examine the experiment design skills of Biology and Science teachers and preservice teachers. For this purpose, 85 Biology and 80 Science teachers and preservices given information about laboratory approaches, experiment types and science process skills were asked to design an experiment about germination. In the…

Pang, Haishao; Wang, Qing; Bao, Rui – Higher Education Forum, 2021
From the perspective of "suzhi" education, this study analyses the historical development of the undergraduate educational model at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). It could be argued that BIT's talent-cultivating system's transformations from 1940 to 2020 echo Chinese higher education's reform and development. This study concludes…

Vidal, Manuel; Membiela, Pedro – Journal of Biological Education, 2014
This study reveals and discusses the problems of future elementary teachers after they have completed a practical on germination, including the fact that such practice is conceptually more complex than is usually considered, at least when the aim is to experiment with the determinant factors for germination. In this case there seemed to be some…

López-Banet, Luisa; Miguélez Rosique, José Antonio; Martínez-Carmona, Marina; Ayuso Fernández, Gabriel Enrique – Education Sciences, 2022
The increase in childhood obesity requires the incorporation of nutritional competence into school programs through appropriate activities, starting in the early years. In addition, it is important to promote scientific and cognitive skills during childhood education. The main objective of this study was the implementation of an instructional…

Morón-Monge, Hortensia; García-Carmona, Antonio – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
A qualitative study was made of how the learning-to-learn competence is favoured in prospective primary teachers when they participate in an experimental activity (ExA). The ExA was on the germination of seeds. Its objective was for the prospective teachers to learn how to (i) design and execute a school scientific inquiry, and (ii) reflect…

Falabella, Alejandra – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2021
The idea of a "hyper-surveillance" state that devolves school management to the private sector and local governments, but, at the same time, evaluates, inspects, and sanctions schools in the name of "educational quality and equality," has been advocated by diverse sectors, right and center-left, conservative and liberal,…

Yurumezoglu, Kemal; Oztas Cin, Merve; Demir, Semra; Bacakoglu, Gözde – Gifted Child Today, 2023
The activity described here was designed to center on the observation of circadian rhythms in plants through the example of growing beans. The aim was to develop students' skills of systematic observation of various variables in the long-term. Our study took place at a Science and Arts Center with 17 gifted students in the third and fourth grades…

Yurumezoglu, Kemal; Oztas Cin, Merve – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2021
In this study, an extracurricular observation module is suggested for the purpose of observing the sustainability of biodiversity based on gathering evidence regarding different seed dispersal processes in the natural environment. These observations were made during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when human activity inflicted a…

de Beer, Josef – American Biology Teacher, 2012
Recent research has identified a karrikin (a butenolide derative) known as 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one, formed from burning cellulose, that stimulates seed germination. Here, I present ideas on how to investigate the influence of karrikins on seed germination in the laboratory.
