Investigating the Biological World Using ProScopes – Phase 2
The Biology Department will expand on the success of probes and ProScopes that were purchased with NPEF grants over the past three years. This grant is for additional ProScopes, or digital microscopes. The digital images can be displayed on a computer monitor or be projected onto a screen. These digital microscopes provide immediate images that […]
Integrating Science and Technology: Flex-cam
The FOSS science program emphasizes small group investigations. A flex-cam will be purchased and can be used to guide these investigations with examples of material the students are examining. The teacher can demonstrate the exploration of what is being studied using the flex-cam and the children can stay in their seats and get a better […]
Science Day ’06
Funds will be used to develop and present seven Science Days, one for each grade level from K through 6, at Roberts School. Students will rotate in small groups from station to station in order to study and experience exciting scientific experiments and hands-on activities supporting and enhancing the science curriculum.
Proscopes & Video Presentations
The Biology Department will expand on the success of probes that were purchased with NPEF grants over the past two years, this year adding digital microscopes, called ProScopes, that provide digital images that can be displayed on a computer monitor or projected onto a screen. These digital microscopes create immediate images that can be captured, […]
Micro Dome – A View Port to the Universe
The three dimensional universe will be simulated on site through this grant. Two separate visits will occur in order to accommodate all eighth grade science students. A presentation addressing specific curriculum content objectives will accompany each simulation. This project was also funded by the NPEF last year.
