1. Interactive Technology in the Science Classroom
WoW Project

2. 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

3. 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.

4. The Computer in the Classroom
Having a computer in the science classroom allows teachers to:
Do online experiments.
Virtual Dissections
Do scientific investigations.
Crime Scene or Accident scene investigation
Play instructional Videos.
Show examples of different physical events.
Use new technology that scientist all over the world are using.
Microsoft excel programs to create graphs

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. Classroom Technology
Students can learn how to present their experimental findings through the use of:
PowerPoint
Microsoft Excel
Creating Graphs of their Data
