Abstract

The purposes of this study were to develop the experiment for gas concentration measure during combustion of a candle and to investigate the application effect of the experiment. For this study, 15 elementary school teachers were selected by considering their gender, career, 6th grade science teaching experience, and 6th grade science teaching experience according to 2007 revised s cience curriculum. The experiment using MBL is designed to confirm gas concentrations visually during the combustion of a candle which burns in an acrylic container. The experiment method is as follows. 1) Make two sets of holes in the container and then insert oxygen sensors and carbon dioxide sensors in the holes. 2) Burn a candle in the container and observe the changes in the burning of the candle. The experiment has checked oxygen concentration and carbon dioxide concentration in real-time and displays gas concentration changes by graphs. The results of the application effect of the experiment are as follows. Most elementary school teachers who had not had scientific concepts on combustion got acquainted with scientific concepts about ‘the reason why a candle is blown out when it is covered with a bottle’, and ‘the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide before and after combustion’. In addition, about half of elementary school teachers got acquainted with scientific concepts about ‘the definition of combustion’, and ‘distribution of carbon dioxide during combustion’. Thus, the experiment to measure gas concentrations during combustion is helpful to improve elementary school teachers’ concepts on combustion.

이 연구의 목적은 초의 연소과정에서 기체 농도를 측정할 수 있는 실험을 개발하고, 그 적용 효과를 알아보는 것이다. 이 연구를 위하여 성별, 교사 경력, 6학년 교수경험, 2007개정 6학년 교수 경험 등을 고려하여 15명의 초등교사들을 선정하였다. MBL을 이용한 이 실험은 아크릴통 안에서 초가 연소하는 동안 산소와 이산화탄소의 농도를 시각적으로 확인할 수 있도록 고안되었다. 이 실험 방법은 다음과 같다. 1) 아크릴 통에 2쌍의 구멍을 만들고, 그 구멍에 2개의 산소 센서와 2개의 이산화탄소 센서를 넣는다. 2) 초를 아크릴통 안에서 연소시키면서 그 변화를 관찰한다. 이 실험은 산소의 농도와 이산화탄소의 농도가 수치로 나타나고 그래프로 그려지므로 기체 농도의 변화를 실시간으로 확인할 수 있다. 이 실험을 적용한 결과, 연소에 대하여 과학적 개념을 가지고 있지 않았던 많은 초등교사들이 ‘집기병 속의 촛불이 꺼지는 이유’와 ‘연소 전과 후의 산소와 이산화탄소의 농도’에 대하여 과학적 개념을 형성하게 되었다. 또한 약 절반의 초등교사들이 ‘연소의 정의’와 ‘연소 후 이산화탄소의 위치‘에 대해 과학적 개념을 형성하게 되었다. 따라서 초의 연소과정에서의 기체 농도 측정 실험은 초등교사들의 연소 개념 향상에 도움을 주었다.
