PASCO’s 2020 Global Partner Meeting
Last week saw delegates from more than 40 different countries gather at PASCO’s head office in California to share success stories about how educators are using PASCO solutions to acheive their STEM goals. I was excited to see several new pieces of equipment including sensors for all sciences. Wireless Sound Sensor (PS-3227) This is a […]
The View From a Small Town Physics Classroom
Let me paint you a picture. Not something physicists normally do but I’ll give it a shot. I teach in a small town in BC. For most of my career it has been lower on the social-economic scale, a true blue-collar place but things are changing. More and more people are being pushed out of […]
AYVA Travels to PASCO for Global Partners Meeting
Six members of the AYVA Team spent last week in Roseville, California at PASCO Scientific’s headquarters. We were excited to make new acquaintances and to reconnect with our friends from years gone by. Representatives from more than 40 different countries had an opportunity to share success stories and receive training on PASCO’s latest products and […]
Nova Scotia Province Wide Adoption Of PASCO Sensors for All Elementary Schools
Take a look at how Canadian schools in Nova Scotia are making the most of PASCO technology
Field Studies – Quality in the Wascana Watershed
The environmental science course at Dr. Martin LeBoldus Catholic High School has been bolstered with PASCO's datalogging solution which is compatible with a mixed device setting of iPads and smart phones.
Sharing Innovative Technology Across Grades 9-12
With 840 students, Bernice MacNaughton High School is optimizing resources by using the same PASCO probeware across multiple grades and courses. Students from grades 9-12 are benefiting from this hands-on inquiry-based learning strategy.
Using Probeware To Explain, Engage & Excite
Since incorporating PASCO probeware into their science courses, teachers at Mitchell District High School have seen a dramatic increase in student engagement and interest in science.
How Do I Engage My Students?
Students at Byrne Creek Secondary are enjoying open-inquiry labs, designing experiments and deciding which measurements should be made. These sensor-based investigations provide students with experiential, hands on science.
A Case for Early Adoption of Technology
Teachers at T.L. Kennedy Secondary have witnessed some striking outcomes with students' use of PASCO probeware. Students' ability to draw connections and make inferences is significantly improved because abstract principles are now easy to measure and visualize.
Post-Secondary Physics with PASCO
At McGill University, PASCO's user friendly apparatus' free up time for students to fully explore the physics behind the experiment while making precise measurements.
Students Initiate Water Quality Investigation
The industrious middle school students at Ecole Dr. Bernard Brosseau decided to investigate why the fountain water tasted so foul. They were concerned that the water was not safe to drink.
Probeware & Cross-Curricular Critical Thinking
Students enrolled in biology and chemistry at Gordon Graydon Secondary are using PASCO probeware to carry out cross-curricular labs. After designing and conducting an open-ended experiment, students have deliverables for both chemistry and biology teachers.
Students Teaching Parents – Tech Night at Bridgewater Elementary
Students at Bridgewater Elementary School are using iPad technologies and PASCO equipment in their grade 5 classrooms, and are going one step further by presenting results to parents at the annual 'Tech Night' event.
Moving Beyond Cookie Cutter Labs
Shaftesbury High School's Science Program Area Leader has been using PASCO Probeware with his students since 2000. Instant data visualization allows students to focus on analysis and higher order questioning.
A Middle School STEM Challenge
This science teacher at River West Park Middle School is integrating a STEM component into his grade 8 science class through a water quality engineering design challenge.
