Lesson idea. This popular guidebook, now released as below, provides content for those keen to adopt technology for teaching science in classrooms. It includes countless ideas for using IT tools in science and provides practical examples of how they can work to good effect. Ideas within are classified as follows:
- Communicating – using graphics, publishing and word processing tools.
- Handling information – using a spreadsheet or database.
- Measuring in science – using electronic sensors and data loggers.
- Modelling ideas – using a spreadsheet, modelling software, simulation or animation.
The book pre-dated the use of the internet for communicating and research, hence the use of the term 'IT' and not 'ICT' in secondary science.
Teaching approach. This book provides resources and lesson ideas with ICT(i) as a key focus for use in inquiry(ta) based learning and the scientific method(ta). It offers opportunities for use of group work(ta) and collaboration(ta) as well as whole class(ta) questioning(ta). (edit)
