The computer checks the accuracy of the student's data and either accepts the results or advises the students to redo one or more specific measurements. The system provides for a cumulative evaluation of a student's overall progress as 1-24 experiments are performed. Students thereby receive instant analysis of their data and of their progress in chemistry. This grant provides for the Chemistry Software Lab System, a printer and 1 day of training on the system. The ExTerminator travels around the U.S. destroying species of insects.
Students post the mysteries on the Internet.
By analyzing clues, participants have 7 days to discover what city ExTerminator is in and what insect he has exterminated. This grant will provide a digital camera and accessories which will enable pictures to be posted on their home page as clues. Integrating the math and science curriculum with technology will be the focus of this grant. Teachers will work collaboratively to coordinate the math and science concepts. Students will use ClarisWorks and HyperStudio to present their work.
