3. Limitations of Traditional learning
Traditional science learning has its limitations:
 Most physical phenomenon cannot be observed by human sense organs
 Difficult to imagine or comprehend complex scientific phenomenon taught in class
 No outlet to human desire to learn through exploration
 Science Lab operates beyond the range of human perception to capture,
record and display the impact of physical phenomena
 Done through carefully designed experiments that can conducted in the
classroom or in the field

4. Classteacher Digital Science Lab – Key differentiators
 Help demonstrate the impact of a scientific concept
Impact of Scientific in mutiple ways:
Concepts
Eg: A temperature probe can be used to demonstrate
rate of heating/ cooling as well as the concept of
specific heat
 Display results in visually understandable forms using
Visual Results
graphs or charts
 Understanding of the nature of science, the attitudes of
Observe science, and the skills of scientific reasoning
 Encourage students to explore and interact directly the
Explain physical world outside their classrooms
Predict
 Stimulate students to design investigations,
engage in scientific reasoning, manipulate equipment,
record data, analyze results, and discuss their findings

7. Science Lab – Package
The Package Includes:
 An Interface (Set of 1 to 3)
 21 sensors across
Physics, Chemistry and Biology
 Connecting Wires
 Set of Experiments

8. Experiment 1 – Motion Sensor
Outline:
The experiment makes express velocity-time
graph by measurement of velocity of cart
using motion sensor when one gives variable Distance measurement
force to cart With time
Objective:
To verify velocity of object is increasing when
it gets force and amount of increase is
proportional to size of force
Experiment:
The motion sensor records the distance and
velocity versus time graph as the cart moves
away from the sensor thus telling the user
the laws of motion observed by the cart

9. Experiment 2 – Temperature Sensor
Outline:
Get specific heat of metal with experimental
result and thus find the type of metal using
specific heat chart
Temperature
Sensor
Objective:
Define specific heat and understand the fact
that every metal has different specific heat
Experiment:
Examine how temperature changes when
one puts hot metal into cold water and get
the specific heat of the metal. Thus using the
formula we can calculate specific heat of
different metals and identify them

10. Experiment 3 – Temperature/Pressure Sensor
Outline:
The experiment is for examining how
temperature affects to reaction of enzyme
(catalase) i.e. body’s catalyst (It replicates
‘reaction of digestive enzyme ‘ in our body)
Objective:
To show the best temperature for reaction with Temperature
enzyme to take place Sensor Pressure
Sensor
Experiment:
We put catalyst in hydrogen peroxide solution.
Oxygen is generated by decomposition of
hydrogen peroxide solution with catalyst
reaction of enzyme. We measure pressure
change with pressure sensor. We get enzyme
reactivity from change rate of gas pressure

11. Experiment 4 – Temperature Sensor
Outline:
To calculate heat of fusion of ice using temperature
of water first, temperature at which all ice
melts, mass of water and specific heat of water
Objective: Temperature
Sensor
To evaluate heat of fusion of ice as heat energy
goes in when there is a phase change of ice to water
Experiment:
Put ice and water into a simple calorimeter and
measure temperature change of water when ice
melts using the temperature sensor. Temperature
measurement done this way is much more accurate
than measurement using alcohol thermometer

12. Merit of Science Experiments with Computer
 Works on POE lesson model
 Exact results with accurate measuring equipment
 Rapid results
 Integrable with Interactive White Board
 Analysis of results using powerful tools like Excel
 Graphs to observe trends and patterns
 Closest average result to the real value by repeating
experiment several times in short duration of time

13. Advantages of Digital Science Lab
 Facilitate and bridge the difference between science of
school and industry and science
 Real time data and analysis
 Possibility of measurement that can’t be done in a
traditional way
 Quantification of Science experiment
