Technology

At Cawthra students have access to a variety of tools. As a department, we believe in effective use of technology and student-driven inquiry. We want to empower our students to think critically and design their own experiments using innovative tools and probeware.

As a department, we have purchased a variety of PASCO probeware to allow students to use tools for data collection, analysis, and visualization which ultimately helps them to solidify understanding of science concepts, thus increasing their scientific literacy while providing experiential knowledge of science concepts.

Our junior and senior science classes use PASCO probes to engage students in active learning. By using probeware to collect data, students have data at their fingertips and thus spend the majority of class time analyzing and evaluating collected data.
