Implementing Scientific Probes in Your Science or Mathematics Class
Scientific probes offer an inexpensive way to include a variety of technology in
your classroom for use with hands-on laboratory activities. Teachers will
learn
how to use Scientific Probes in the classroom with computers, graphing calculators,
and handheld computers. Laboratory experiments will be available for teachers using light sensors, temperature probes, force plates, drop counters, CO2 gas sensors, motion
detectors, radiation monitors, gas pressure sensors, and EKG sensors.
Objectives for the Scientific Probe Workshop
- Become familiar with probe technology using computers, graphing calculators, and handheld computers
- Learn how integrate scientific probes into a science or mathematics classroom
- Participate in activities and lesson plans using scientific probes
- Create and modify activities to include the scientific probes
- Illustrate how Indiana Academic Standards fit with hands-on science activities and technology
