The Next Generation Science Standards indicate that high school science students need to engage in three-dimensional learning, which involves the elements of scientific inquiry and, very often, integration of technology. The problem is that for the fairly new high school where I teach that has only been in existence for the last five years, the school has not had much time to accumulate technology or science equipment, other than having some computers that students need to share, some test tubes and beakers, and a classroom whiteboard. On a national scale, the high school youth where I teach, are also losing momentum in regards to interest in science due to the lack of making lessons come to life and really making lessons relevant to their world. Finally, our high school is declining in annual school enrollment because of these factors. In turn, if my students are permitted to receive MERGE Virtual and Augmented Reality Headsets and if they are supported by the purchase of Fire 7" Tablets from a good samaritan, this will definitely push them into an exciting, positive, and interactive reality, in which they will come to love appreciate science and technology the way they should. Nevertheless, the MERGE Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Headsets will allow students to create virtual 3-D models of atoms and molecules. The headsets will also allow students to play scientific games and go on virtual field trips. The requested Amazon Fire 7" Tablets will endorse student scientific investigations via the program Google Science Notebook. Using the notebook students will measure during lab investigations using virtual temperature and conductivity probes and they will record and graph data using the virtual notebook, as well.
