Investigating the Biological Sciences using ProScopes
The NPEF has awarded several grants over the last four years for the purchase of ProScopes (digital microscopes) and Vernier Probes that help increase the technological skills of the students, bring a more modern and realistic setting to the classroom laboratory, increase the students’ observational, analytical, and drawing skills, and raise the students’ critical thinking […]
Increasing the Scope of Understanding through Science Technology
The goal of this program was to increase the students’ use of technology within the science class and provide them with the opportunity to further develop scientific process skills and technological literacy. By integrating ProScope Digital Microscopes into the curriculum, it allowed for more productive, accurate, and higher quality resolutions and images when studying macro- […]
A Sound Idea – Capturing Audio with Quality
The Music and Performing Arts Department is granted money to be used for purchasing and installing stationary high quality hanging recording microphones in the High School/Middle School Choral, Orchestra and Band Rooms. These microphones will stay in each room. In addition, a secure, mobile cart will house a Multi-Channel Digital Track Recorder which can be […]
LabQuest Interfaces for Motion, Forces and Energy
In alignment with the current application of technology in the physics classroom, the next phase of implementation in the program is to allow for students to measure and record data outside of the bounds of the classroom. A brand new technology has been introduced by Vernier in the form of the LabQuest interface. The LabQuest […]
Camcorder Collaboration – Preschool Disabilities Class
