Throughout the school year the students will be engaging in many scientific endeavors. From examining manufacturer's claims about common household products, to the intricacies of the human body, to the examination of toxins in the local ecosystem. The use of technology will strengthen and intensify their studies, observations, analyses, conclusions, and evaluations.
In a classroom of limited resources, information loaded into a tablet will not just provide information, but will take them to places and resources previously unknown. Like taking a trip through the human body with student directed stops for understanding, technology can provide limitless opportunities for deeper understanding.
