DALLAS, USA: Science teachers now have a new, free resource to help them quickly and effectively bring technology-based content into their biology, chemistry and physics classrooms. The Science Nspired Resource Center by Texas Instruments is a collection of online lessons and tools that enable educators to leverage TI-Nspire technology with ready-to-use lessons that cover essential science topics.
Science Nspired is available to educators via an online resource center and is organized by subjects, units and lesson modules. Preview videos of individual lessons make it easy to browse the variety of activities (including simulations and data collection labs), all designed to guide students to a deeper understanding of science concepts.
Every lesson includes: teacher notes to help prepare and deliver the lesson; TI-Nspire documents to explore science concepts using TI-Nspire technology; and editable student worksheets that can be used as-is or customized for their students. The flexible lesson design not only supports an active, hands-on approach to learning science, but also helps to promote inquiry-based instruction. Lessons are aligned to textbooks as well as state and provincial curriculum and assessment standards.
"Today's students are more hands-on than ever before, and we're making it easier for students to explore challenging science concepts in more interactive and engaging ways," said Gayle Mujica, director of Texas Instruments T - Teachers Teaching with Technology professional development organization. "We're providing teachers with the tools and resources they need to teach science in a way that encourages students to delve into concepts more deeply."
