Abstract

This chapter addresses the potential of reworking experiments or recipes
in educational settings. We reflect on educational practice in several
university settings, which span the Liberal Arts and Science Program in
Utrecht and a course for historians of science and technology at Johns
Hopkins University to physics teacher education at the Europa-Universität
Flensburg. The classroom use of RRR methods serves to teach the exploratory
nature of science, and focuses the attention of students on materials
and the sensory dimensions of experiments. Together, the three cases
argue that the use of RRR methods in the classroom allows teachers to
engage students in new ways, and offers students the opportunity to
participate more meaningfully in research into the history of science.
