We propose a pedagogical, rationalized MKS-based convention for electromagnetic quantities designed to reduce cognitive load in undergraduate undergraduate electromagnetism. By setting vacuum constant…
Generative Artificial Intelligence (gen-AI) is rapidly becoming more integrated into today's classrooms in all ranges of education. In higher education, Gen-AI is often seen as a resource for students…
In this document we summarize the results of a survey of undergraduate degree-granting programs conducted by the 2024-2025 American Astronomical Society Education Committee's Subcommittee on UndeRgrad…
Undergraduate research in STEM can be a transformative experience, especially for Community College students, many of whom come from under-represented backgrounds. However, undergraduate research at C…
We investigate the tension distribution in systems of mass-less ropes under different loading conditions. For a two-rope system, we demonstrate how the breaking scenario depends on the applied force d…
The abilities of Generative-Artificial Intelligence (AI) to produce real-time, sophisticated responses across diverse contexts has promised a huge potential in physics education, particularly in provi…
The reciprocal velocity force, $F(v)=\frac{C}{v}$, despite its theoretical and practical importance, is often neglected in mechanics courses. We use graphical methods to explain how such a force natur…
This paper aims to provide physics teachers with tools to help deepen the understanding of the laws of electromagnetism. The fundamental contributions of our proposal are: a) to use quotes from mythic…
The integration of environmental education into the school curriculum can be inspiring for students to assimilate scientific concepts and methods presented in the Science subjects in a contextualized …
In a popular YouTube video by the channel Veritasium, the following question is posed: Imagine you have a giant circuit consisting of a battery, a switch, a light bulb, and two wires which are each 30…
This work explores the use of Role Playing Games (RPG) as an active methodology in teaching Modern Physics, focusing on a game called Newton's Revenge. The game was developed with the aim of engaging …
Although most teachers acknowledge the importance of taking investigative approached in students' science learning experiences, implementing them in high-school classes can be challenging for teachers…
Sorin Co\c{s}ofre\c{t} has argued that kinetic molecular theory does not correctly describe thermal equilibrium in ideal gases and has provided some examples that purportedly show that the standard la…
Exercises with solutions are presented which should allow advanced undergraduate students to understand properties of a flat, uniformly expanding space. No knowledge of general or special relativity i…
This study presents the development of two graphical interfaces using Matlab's graphical user interface tool, GUIDE, to model the steady-state and dynamic responses of Erbium (Er$^{3+}$)-doped fiber a…
In thermochemistry experiments, a large volume and relatively high concentration of chemicals are often used to get a significant temperature change using an analogue thermometer. A greener experiment…
With the aim of finding ways that can lead to solving the problem of learning the exact sciences and involving the university student in a participatory and active way during the semester period with …
The STEM field is unrepresentative of the population it serves. Due to a lack of cultural relevance in STEM courses, there is a dissociation between the lived experience of students from underrepresen…
In this work, we present the Electric Motor simulator, an application on the SimuF\'isica platform intended for use in the classroom. We briefly describe the technologies behind the application, the e…
Following the emergence of COVID-19 in Spring 2020, undergraduate in-person physics laboratory courses at a R1 public university were adapted for remote learning to accommodate the subsequent campus c…
