The focus is on learning

SPARK

SPARK Science Learning System provides a rich visual connection with scientific phenomena.

  • Keep the focus on learning through a finger-touch, user interface (no stylus required).
  • Reduce time and effort between setup and data visualization through the SPARK system's simplified user interface.
  • Display data in multiple simultaneous representations (e.g., graphs, tables, digital "read outs," analog meters) on the SPARK system's large, high resolution screen.
  • Promote real-time analysis with the SPARK system’s direct manipulation analysis tools (e.g., curve fitting, descriptive statistics, data transformations).
  • Energize student reflection and discussion with built-in annotation tools, snapshot tools, and journaling tools.
  • Print student created journals and evaluate portfolios of their learning progress.
  • Enable guided inquiry right out of the box with pre-installed SPARKlabs™ for many standard topics in a range of disciplines.
