Computer-Based Inquiry-Learning
Science education involves acquiring various skills, methods, and processes. According to Roblyer and Doering (2013) “The basis for inquiry-oriented science instruction is developing varied opportunities for students to learn science process skills, such as collecting, sorting, and cataloging; observing, note taking, and sketching; and interviewing, polling, and surveying.” (p. 317) Students can use this site to develop science process skills. Specifically, they can use the tools on the site to collect, poll, and observe information related to science topics.
Furthermore, science education requires cooperative learning. Roblyer and Doering (2013) cite the National Science Foundation, which states the goal of science instruction is to “promote active learning, inquiry, problem solving, cooperative learning, and other instructional methods that motivate students” (NRC, 1996 in Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p. 317). This site promotes science instruction by motivating students to participate in various hands-on activities as well as communicate about these experiences with others.
