The SPARK Science Learning System

Designed from the ground up for 21st century science discovery

SPARK Science Learning System is an all-in-one mobile device that seamlessly integrates the power of probeware with inquiry-based content and assessment. With its large, full-color display, finger-touch navigation and completely intuitive data collection and analysis capabilities, SPARK completely redefines the concept of easy-to-use--so the focus remains on the learning of science.

SPARK is designed to become the center of your school's discovery-based science learning environment, providing both teacher and student the embedded support for exploring scientific concepts.

The SPARK Science Learning System includes more than 60 free pre-installed SPARKlabs™--standards-based guided inquiry labs in a unique electronic notebook format. These SPARKlabs completely integrate background content, data collection and analysis, even assessment--all within the same environment. Students no longer need to navigate to a separate file for instructions or even refer to paper manuals. Everything you and your students need is right there in contexts.

SPARK works with most PASPORT sensors.  Support for photogates and timing will be available in early 2010.  See a complete list of PASPORT sensors.

The SPARK Science Learning System was recently reviewed in Learning & Leading With Technology's November 2009 issue.  Read the Review.
