Bensky, Tom – Physics Teacher, 2022
Light and its spectrum are central concepts in many introductory physics, astronomy, geology, and conceptual physics courses. The Sun and its spectrum are usually primary examples, likely due to the Sun's everyday familiarity and the full spectrum it generates when dispersed. To enhance such discussions with a hands-on student activity, we've…

Bekaert, Hans; Van Winckel, Hans; Van Dooren, Wim; Steegen, An; De Cock, Mieke – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Young children, students, and adults may have alternative ideas about the motion of the Sun and stars as we observe them in the sky. However, a good understanding of this apparent motion is essential as a starting point to study more advanced astronomical concepts, especially when these include astronomical observations. In this paper, we describe…

Dimmel, Justin K.; Pandiscio, Eric A.; Bock, Camden; Reedman, Emma – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
We report the design of an analog technology, what we refer to as a SunRule, that uses sunlight to model multiplication. Physical models that explore multiplication are fixtures in elementary mathematics classrooms. Our interest in physical models of multiplication was driven by an overarching design problem: How could a physical tool realize a…

Navalkar, Vinita; Sawant, Sumedh; Mourya, Shubham – Physics Education, 2021
The concept of black body is of primary importance in studying the energy transfer of thermal electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths. Several physical bodies like incandescent lamps, electric heaters, stoves, the sun and the other stars, microwave background radiation, etc., are considered to be black bodies as their radiation spectra fits…

Jiaxing Li; Rui Zhang; Yingyi Luo; Lixin Na – Health Education Journal, 2024
Objective: In contrast to previous research that has primarily focused on gender differences in health behaviour compliance, this study explored the association between gender consciousness and sun protection in China - a cultural setting in which there is a pronounced gender bias towards sun protection. These article is the first attempt to…

Oktay, Ozlem; Avci, Zeynep; Sen, Ahmet Ilhan – Physics Education, 2022
The purpose of this study was to provide an online astronomy activity using the Stellarium program as a virtual planetarium. The implementation was conducted with 30 preservice primary school teachers (PPTs) who participated in a non-formal workshop that included interactive, technology-based astronomy practices embedded with the…

Kim, Seong-un – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
This study studied the types of peer scaffolding presented in scientific experimental activities. The study included 14 university students. For the experimental activity of 'determining temperature changes using the meridian altitude of the sun,' information regarding experimental behaviors, thinking aloud, discourse, and retrospective interview…

Carranza Rogerio, Brenda; Yan, Yu; Cooper, Eric Wallace – International Journal of Technology in Education, 2023
The growing integration of technology into education, particularly in the STEM fields, has tended to focus on its objective advantages, ignoring its affective potential. To explore this potential, based on some principles of "Kansei/Affective Engineering," an initial analysis was conducted considering 501 interventions in a conversation…

Wallace, Dan – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2018
In the New England region, where temperatures range from below 0 to over 100 degrees, heating and cooling can present a major opportunity to improve sustainability statistics of a campus. Overt changes such as improving windows come to mind, but recent advancements in boiler technology and strategies for working with the heat of the sun and the…

Starakis, Ioannis; Halkia, Krystallia – Physics Education, 2014
In this paper, primary school students' and pre-service teachers' ideas of seasonal change are investigated. The research was carried out in nine primary schools in Athens and in the Primary Education Department of the University of Athens. Written reports were used for gathering data while students also had the opportunity to support their…

Scott, Joseph J.; Johnston, Robyn S.; Bear, Natasha; Gregory, Sonia; Blane, Sally; Strickland, Mark; Darby, Jill; Gray, Elin S. – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2021
Teachers are responsible for children at school during peak ultraviolet (UV) times of the day. It is paramount that teachers have knowledge and understanding of UV to effectively protect themselves and their students. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of a short intervention on preservice teachers' sun protective…

Joaquín Martínez-Torregrosa; Ruben Limiñana; Asunción Menargues; Rafael Colomer – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2018
Pre-service primary teachers mostly have negative attitudes towards science teaching and learning, and their science background is usually low. This usually results in them feeling unable or unconfident to teach science at school. A previous step to improve their willingness to teach science to children is that they feel they can learn in-depth…

Kennon, James Tillman; Fong, Bryant; Grippo, Anne – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2016
Sunscreens have different levels of protection, measured most commonly with the sun protection factor (SPF). Students initially believed higher SPF factors mean greater sun protection and learned through this activity that higher SPF does not mean greater protection. Students analyzed the amount of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) protection and…

Talahongva, Patty – Tribal College Journal of American Indian Higher Education, 2018
Each day when the sun rises at tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) professors reach back to the traditional teachings of their elders to prepare lessons for the students of today. It is the connection to Native cultures, attitudes, and philosophy that is what sets TCUs apart from mainstream colleges and universities. For most, teaching…

Cevik, Ebru Ezberci; Kurnaz, Mehmet Altan – Journal of Education and Practice, 2017
The purpose of this study is to reveal preservice science teachers' perceptions related to the sun, star, comet and constellation concepts. The research was carried out by 56 preservice science teachers (4th grade) at Kastamonu University taking astronomy course in 2014-2015 academic year. For data collection open-ended questions that required…
