written by Jacquelyn Haynicz and N. Sanjay Rebello

Research has shown that students can be motivated to learn science by demonstrating its connection to everyday life. We investigated students' understanding of an everyday blender. We have previously reported on students' progression through a series of hands-on activities designed to facilitate learning about how the blender works [1]. Here, we report on the ideas about the blender expressed by students after completing the sequence of activities and the students' perceptions of the activities themselves.
