Background:
The one thing that science and technology have in common is that they are always changing! Therefore, successfully integrating technology into the science classroom can be a challenge. On this page you will find find hardware and software hints and resources that can make your technology integration efforts much easier.
In recent years easy-to-use probeware technology has become available that offers several advantages to the science classroom:
- the ability to collect highly accurate data in real-time, and manipulate it on the computer
- the ability to easily collect data that was previously difficult to collect in the high school lab, such as motion and changing levels of dissolved oxygen.
- quick and easy lab preparation makes lab set-up easier and quicker, allowing for more labs and more hands-on time for students
Considering these advantages, the Science 10 technology idea pages for units A, B, C and D all contain several probeware labs (indicated by the 
icon), such as this one from unit B:
