I think it’s very innovative to fuse technology-based inquiry with science standards. I think in years to come it will prove necessary to do this throughout all content areas. I think that some science curriculums really help us as educators to articulate how inquiry based approaches can be effective. I think one reason is the exploratory nature of science itself, and another reason is the conscious efforts of progressive educators to build inquiry based lessons, and to use assessments to inform the teaching. I can really visualize children being engaged as they plot a computer- generated timeline of a storm, and watch video of how it unfolds, and impacts environments. Coupling first hand experience in the environment, with computer graphics could help students organize, analyze, and present their research.
