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.
Learning Chemistry Concepts using a Multimedia Projector
The Chemistry department uses probes to gather real time data and information which helps them to understand and to make connections between abstract concepts. This year they will be receiving a multimedia projector, attached to a Chemistry room
Learning Physics Concepts using a Multimedia Projector
To continue the successful implementation of the inquiry based learning investigations and the “minds-on” experiences provided by the physics probes, the Science department is getting another permanently mounted digital projector in an additional physics lab. In addition, the equipment will provide students with an increased opportunity to produce relevant accurate and concise presentations based around […]
Video Analysis of Motion
The project involves capturing analyzing video segments of various physical situations and utilizing the LoggerPro Software already acquired through past grants. This process will shorten the time required to explore a concept, and provide a capability that we currently do not possess: acquisition of data of complex movements. Video analysis requires cutting-edge technology […]
Going Digital in the Classroom
Four digital cameras will be purchased through this grant for teachers and students to use to enhance their lessons and presentations and to develop skills with interactive technology that increase productivity and creativity.
