Science is about asking questions.
Good scientists are those who ask good questions. One way is to encourage students to pose and try to answer their own questions. Individual student investigations are becomeing increasingly important in modern science courses but they place great demands on students and teachers. In order to help teachers and students to develop the skills they need to address these problems, SAPS has collaborated with the IT Unit at Homerton College and Attica Cybernetics to create an extensive package on CD-ROM, Investigating Plant Science. This fully integrated resource provides a stimulating and challenging setting in which students can develop their information handling and investigation planning skills.
