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
