WOW PROJECTInteractive Technology in the Science Classroom
Science and Technology Have always gone hand and hand.
As technology increases so does science.Telescope allowed scientist to see new planets.
Microscope allowed scientist to see bacteria.
SEM allows scientist to see viruses
From the Lab to the Classroom In science, some of the best learning comes
from hands on experiences.
This being said, not all schools can afford expensive science equipment.
So what is the answer?Using a cheaper more cost effective technology.This technology is the COMPUTER.
The Computer in the Classroom Having a computer in the science classroom allows
teachers to:1. Do online experiments.
1. Virtual Dissections
2. Do scientific investigations.1. Crime Scene or Accident scene investigation
3. Play instructional Videos.1. Show examples of different physical events.
4. Use new technology that scientist all over the world are using.
1. Microsoft excel programs to create graphs
Virtual Dissections These save the school money. (No
supplies to buy) Allow all students to perform the task Owl Pellet Dissection Cow Eye Dissection Sheep Brain Dissection
Scientific Investigations
Are scientific based web quests.
Some send students on a search through different sites while others have all the information on them.
Sites can look like a video game.
Crime Scene Investigation
Scientific Investigation
Some resources can allow students to perform activities that inspire them for the future.
These links allow students to perform surgery just like a surgeon would do.
Heart Surgery Hip Replacement Surgery Brain Surgery
Instructional Videos Videos can be played in the classroom
to help show complicated ideas. Also research that takes years to do can
be shown in a short time frame in the classroom.
Static Charge Video
Classroom Technology Students can learn how to present their
experimental findings through the use of:PowerPointMicrosoft Excel
