Discusses how the material, such as the physical arrangement of laboratories and laboratory equipment influence the teaching and learning of scienceExplores the nature of material practice from the perspective of technologyIncludes implications for research, teaching and learning

Challenges science educators to understand that when matter and materiality are ignored, they are failing to capture the richness of learning Explores how post humanistic theories provide unique insights into the teaching and learning of science Examines the role of matter and materiality across education levels and through different topics
