TRANSFORMING FROM . . .

IDEAS FOR SCIENCE

• LEARN HOW SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT TAKES PLACE THROUGH BUILDING UPON EXISTING INFORMATION AND COLLABORATION AMONG SCIENTISTS.

• PEER EDITING OF ASSIGNMENTS FROM SMALL GROUP INVESTIGATIONS.

• COLLABORATIVE CREATION OF CLASS NOTES / STUDY GUIDES / REVIEW MATERIALS.

IDEAS FOR SCIENCE

• NON-LINEAR EXPLORATION OF TOPICS SUCH AS: ELECTRICITY, FORCES & MOTION, LIGHT & SOUND, AND MEASUREMENT

• EXPLORATION OF CASE-BASED INFORMATION COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS: STEM-CELL RESEARCH, POLLUTION, RECYCLING, AND GLOBAL WARMING

• ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES AND ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES

IDEAS FOR SCIENCE

• PORTRAY SCIENTISTS AND SPEAK ABOUT THEIR LIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS.

• CREATE A COMMERCIAL “ADVERTISING” AN ELEMENT OF THE PERIODIC TABLE

• CREATE AUDIO VERSION OF CLASS NOTES / LESSONS

• LESSONS FOR SOUND (DECIBEL LEVELS / AUDIBLE RANGE)

TRANSFORMATION ON HOLD

• LACK OF COMPUTER LAB AVAILABILITY

• LICENSING FOR SPECIFIC SOFTWARE (EXPENSES)

• FEASIBILITY OF SETTING UP USER ACCOUNTS FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS

• TIME REQUIRED FOR CREATION OF MEANINGFUL LESSONS AND PROPER USE OF TECHTOOLS
