Using Standard Classroom Technology to Stimulate Science Inquiry

Feedback form is now closed.

In this session, we will demonstrate two different methods of stimulating student inquiry in the science classroom using common use technology, such as cell phones and personal computers. For example, teachers will use easy-to-snap and capture pictures and video clips to stimulate student discussion by submitting and briefly explaining a still photo highlighting a particular science phenomenon. Teachers will also take motion video clips, importing the video to a computer and analyzing the data to demonstrate a particular physical science concept. Lastly, each participant will be awarded a take-home packet incorporating both ideas, including several practical activities for direct application in the classroom.
