…reason about complex phenomena based on first principles governing the structures, interactions, and dynamics of electrons, atoms, and molecules. But teaching nanoscience and nanotechnology be quite challenging. This chapter presents…
…that enable students to visualize the complex interactions related to climate change science. Students learn how adjusting variables in a dynamic model affects the entire system. The National Science Foundation…
…The Molecular Workbench has been used for topics as diverse as gas laws, fluid mechanics, states of matter, phase change, chemical reactions, the genetic code, protein synthesis, electron-matter interactions, and…
…made of component parts, interactions, and functions. Students understand that models are constructed through a series of intentional choices about what to represent and how to represent it. Students see…
…a London dispersion attraction; polar molecules are attracted through both the London dispersion force and the stronger dipole-dipole attraction. The force of attractions between molecules has consequences for their interactions…
…molecules has consequences for their interactions in physical, chemical and biological applications. This simulation was developed for the American Association of Chemistry Teachers (AACT), an organization that supports K-12 teachers…
…the enactment of a curriculum that teaches watershed content using real data, scientific models, and focuses on local places like their own neighborhood. Students address many NGSS Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy,…
…Learning Sciences. Doren, S. V., Hardy, L., Dixon, C., & Hsi, S. (2021). Distributed interactions during ‘hands-on’ labs with paraeducators. Poster presented at the 15th International Conference of the Learning…
…no easy way to analyze each word—let alone the level of collaboration, motivation, and reasoning—outside of laboriously transcribing and coding limited interactions. What if there were a way to electronically…
In this investigation, students will develop a conceptual model of electrostatic interactions by exploring how various charged objects (Scotch tape, balloons, rods of various materials, and a Van de Graaff…
