Science Tools

Digital Microscopes - these are great tools. Plug in via USB and use your PC camera to view (you may need to turn the camera around). Take photos of what you view.

Micro:bits - programmable mini computers with leds and sensors.

Google forms - use to collect prior knowledge or results of experiments. Responses can be sent to a Google Spreadsheet then graphs can be created. Google Slides or Canva can be used to create infographics.

Science apps

Science Journal - a really useful free Arduino app for Android and ios devices and Chromebooks (although best used on a phone or ipad). Can record ambient light (on some devices), sound, pressure, movement and much more. Observations and experiments can be easily photographed and recorded. Loads of activities to get started or create your own.
