  1. Transforming Science Education

  2. Singapore MOE awards large contract Kazakhstan MOE awards multi-year contract to supply complete solution Paul wins NY regional high school science fair Subject specific lab manuals introduced PASCO moves to Roseville, CA Became international company GLX created |1960 |1965 |1970 |1975 |1980 |1985 |1990 |1995 |2000 |2005 |2010 Created first probeware package PASCO air-track created for physics First PD workshops hosted Began creating curriculum PASCO scientific established First handheld device for probeware created/multi measure probes created SPARK Science Learning begins transforming science education

  3. Our role in science education Providing educators worldwide with innovative solutions for teaching science Science Tools Curriculum Professional Development

  4. Partners in innovation PASCO TEACHER SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS EDUCATION LEADERS PRIMARY/ SECONDARY TEACHERS HI ED FACULTY STUDENTS Connections in science education

  5. Evidence of impact • Students using probeware scored significantly higher than students collecting data without probes • More frequent use correlates with higher scores • Hands-on experience engages “at risk” students • The less apparent the technology, the more engaged students are in science learning SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

  6. Transforming teaching and learning Teacher Challenges PASCO Promise Today’s Learners • Teaching with old tools • Struggle to keep students engaged • Need technology integration model • Help engage students + excite them about science • Support teachers teaching inquiry- • based science • Access technology regularly outside of class • Have the same classrooms and lessons their parents did

  7. Creating a 21st century experience

  8. Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that's been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings. Science needs to be taught to the young and communicated to the mature in a manner that captures this drama. We must embark on a cultural shift that places science in its rightful place alongside music, art and literature as an indispensable part of what makes life worth living.” -Dr. Brian Green Professor of Physics, Columbia University

  9. How heavy? Inquiry-based learning How bright? How fast? How hard? How weak? How much momentum? How cold? What pressure? How hot? How loud? How much stress? How far? What pH? How slow? What voltage? How soft?

  10. PASPORT Interfaces *Up to 8 sensors can be connected to a computer at a time through any combination of USB PASPORT interfaces.

  11. PASPORT Sensors *supports digital timing, counting, & control sensors (eg: Photogate, Laser Switch, Time-of-Flight, Freefall, Radiation, Relay)

  12. An example of how this works…

  13. The Science Learning System Making a significant contribution to science education, worldwide.
