Based on experience with the use of ICT in primary schools CMA has developed Technology Enhanced Primary Science Set, a series of technology-enhanced inquiry-based activities for students between 9 and 12 years. In this activities students use the CMA €Sense or WiLab interface and sensors to learn basic science concepts around sound, light, heat and temperature.Students perform inquiry-based investigations and use sensors to collect data. They develop basic abilities to do and understand scientific inquiry and develop mathematical skills to read and interpret measurement graphs. In this activities technology is used to improve learning and understanding.
Student Activities
In the activities students investigate phenomena around light, sound, heat and temperature. Each activity consists of student worksheet and Coach software activity.
Teacher Support
Teacher guides, as well on the use of hardware and software as on science and pedagogy, can be used to help teachers to get started.
Equipment needed
To be able to perform the Primary Science Activities the following is needed:
WiLab with temperature, light and sound sensors
Coach 7 Lite or Coach 7 software
Primary Science Kit
