Why is it important?
This study shows how emotional experiences are a common link that motivates teachers and students to become involved in science demonstrations as a positive social ritual in school science. Understanding how emotions are a driver for particular types of science teaching is important for engaging students in science throughout their entire school careers.
Perspectives
This is an interesting collection of stories about the delivery of science demonstrations that shows the reproduction of this teaching technique across several generations of teachers and students.
