The Exploring Science Program
The Exploring Science curriculum has been
specifically created for use with the SciTEK Science Cart. This
comprehensive package of curriculum materials and hands-on practical
experiment kits covers 79 different topics and provides 36 hands-on
activities to support those topics. Each topic can be presented by the
teacher as a front-of-class lesson.
Where applicable, the associated practical
experiment can be performed by the teacher. If required, additional sets of
the kits can be purchased, allowing groups of students to undertake the
practical experiments themselves.
The unique design of the HTML-based “eContent” enables
either a paper-based delivery, for situations where student access to
computers is limited, or if there are sufficient computers, the materials
can be delivered as student centered learning material. If the classroom
management option is selected, all computer-based student activities and
assessments will be automatically tracked and individual records made for
each student.
