Duffin, Lisa C.; Starling, Michael P.; Day, Martha M.; Cribbs, Jennifer D. – School Science and Mathematics, 2016
The main purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the degree to which a three-week intervention in an urban high-needs high school science classroom would influence students' (n = 51) interest, utility value, content knowledge, and intentions for future study in chemistry. The intervention consisted of an authentic, inquiry-based…

Boesdorfer, Sarah B.; Staude, Kristin D. – School Science and Mathematics, 2016
Effective professional development that influences teachers' classroom practices starts with what teachers know, understand, and do in their classroom. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) challenge teachers to make changes to their classroom; to help teachers make these changes, it is necessary to know what they are doing in their…

Bretz, Stacey Lowery; Emenike, Mary Elizabeth – School Science and Mathematics, 2012
Chemical principles are taught in elementary education across much of the United States because the "National Science Education Standards" include concepts about the nature of matter, states of matter, and changes in matter among other science concepts within the first to fifth grade levels. "Chemicals" is a word related to the nature of matter…

Ruebush, Laura E.; Grossman, Ethan L.; Miller, Stephen A.; North, Simon W.; Schielack, Jane F.; Simanek, Eric E. – School Science and Mathematics, 2009
The Information Technology in Science (ITS) Center for Teaching and Learning was a National Science Foundation funded program to provide high-quality professional development for 7-12th grade science teachers. The subgroup on which this paper focuses was immersed in an innovative approach to understanding chemistry of the environment. The group…

Liu, Xiufeng – School Science and Mathematics, 2006
Using the US national sample from the 1995 Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), this study examined students' competence levels in understanding the matter concept at grades 3, 4, 7, 8 and high school graduation, and compared them to the expectations in the US national science education standards. It was found that…

DomNwachukwu, Nkechi S.; DomNwachukwu, Chinaka S. – School Science and Mathematics, 2006
This article investigates the effectiveness of improvising locally available materials for teaching chemistry in Nigeria, as a case for a culture of improvisation for teaching the sciences in developing countries. The scarcity and cost of imported materials for teaching science has remained a major challenge to teaching sciences in developing…

Roehrig, Gillian H.; Kruse, Rebecca A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2005
Science as inquiry is a key content standard #1 the National Science Education Standards; however, few secondary science teachers successfully and consistently implement inquiry-based instruction in their classrooms. This research examines the role of reform-based curricular materials in influencing the classroom practices of 12 high school…
