Kellett, Sarah – Teaching Science, 2015
As part of the celebration of the international year of light and light-based technologies, this article presents an activity involving boiling water, sharp knives, gelatin powder, and a laser pointer. Students are instructed never look directly at a laser pointer because it can damage the eyes, and to make sure a responsible adult is present at…

Love, Tyler S.; Roy, Ken R. – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2017
"Safety Spotlight" encourages the submission of questions from Technology and Engineering (T&E) Educators, and this month's question involves the risks of placing hazardous equipment (e.g., 3D printer, laser cutter, CNC router, etc.) in a non-technology & engineering lab under the supervision of teachers not certified to teach…

Engaging Preservice Secondary Science Teachers in an NGSS-Based Energy Lesson: A Nanoscience Context
Menon, Deepika; Devadas, Mary Sajini – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The new approach to teaching science presented by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) warrants training high-quality science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers to prepare the future STEM workforce. We share the implementation of an energy lesson using a nanoscience approach, well-aligned with the NGSS vision, in a…

Ekkens, Tom – Physics Teacher, 2018
In introductory physics classes, a laser pointer and a compact disc are all the items required to illustrate diffraction of light in a single dimension. If a two-dimensional diffraction pattern is desired, double axis diffraction grating material is available or a CCD sensor can be extracted from an unused electronics device. This article presents…

Sagness, Richard L. – 1981
An overview of issues that will have an impact on educational practice in the 1980s is presented. Issues in the following areas are outlined: (1) control of education by states rather than by the federal government; (2) educational issues that should be the concern of the federal government; (3) education for the handicapped; (4) the future role…

Igoe, D. P.; Parisi, A. V.; Wagner, S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Smartphones used as tools provide opportunities for the teaching of the concepts of accuracy and precision and the mathematical concept of arctan. The accuracy and precision of a trigonometric experiment using entirely mechanical tools is compared to one using electronic tools, such as a smartphone clinometer application and a laser pointer. This…

Jenkins, Samir V.; Gohman, Taylor D.; Miller, Emily K.; Chen, Jingyi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
The rapid academic and industrial development of nanotechnology has led to its implementation in laboratory teaching for undergraduate-level chemistry and engineering students. This laboratory experiment introduces the galvanic replacement reaction for synthesis of hollow metal nanoparticles and investigates the optical properties of these…

Schulze-Buxloh, Lina; Grob, Rolf; Ulbrich, Michelle – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
The worldwide Corona pandemic has severely restricted student projects in the higher semesters of engineering courses. In order not to delay the graduation, a new concept had to be developed for projects under lockdown conditions. Therefore, unused rooms at the university should be digitally recorded in order to develop a new usage concept as…

Alfano, Kathleen – 1990
A model program was developed to increase the number of noncollege-bound students who were capable of succeeding in electronics and laser/electro-optics technology (LET) vocational training. The target population was noncollege-bound disadvantaged students, at least 60 percent minorities and women who were historically underrepresented in…

Fletcher, Jerry L. – 1978
Demography, urban to rural migration, new educational technologies, and the human potential movement all impact on education. With the decline in number of school-aged children, schools can try to expand the number of students downward (early childhood education/day care), outward (special education, dropouts), or upward (adults), expand service…

Kulhavy, David L.; Unger, Daniel R.; Hung, I-Kuai; Douglass, David – International Journal of Higher Education, 2015
A senior within a spatial science Ecological Planning capstone course designed an undergraduate research project to increase his spatial science expertise and to assess the hands-on instruction methodology employed within the Bachelor of Science in Spatial Science program at Stephen F Austin State University. The height of 30 building features…

Thode, Brad – 1987
This curriculum guide provides ideas for implementing technology education in grades 7-12. It assumes a basic understanding of the four clusters of manufacturing, construction, communications, and power/transportation and is meant to supplement and reorganize this approach with up-to-date information and activities. One way to present a variety of…

Allen, James – Knowledge Quest, 2017
If you stopped by and visited the author's school library in Eminence, Kentucky, it would be difficult to predict everything you might see and experience. You might see first-grade students browsing and finding books to check out, a ninth-grade student using a compound miter saw to prepare parts for a project in an engineering class, a fifth-grade…
