SPARKvue HD is a member of PASCO's SPARKscience(TM) family, providing the same user experience across all technology environments teachers or students may be using, from desktop computers to netbooks, interactive whiteboads, and of course the iPad and other tablets. No matter what the mix of technology is in the classroom or the school, teachers and students all share the same user experience, placing the learning experience in the forefront and simplifying classroom management.
Just connect any of over 70 PASCO sensors (via PASCO's Bluetooth sensor interface, PASPORT® AirLink 2), and begin measuring a wide range of phenomena, including pH, temperature, force and motion, carbon dioxide level, and many more.
Key features:
-- Measure and display sensor data in real time
-- Display data in a graph, analog meter, digits or table
-- Analyze data with built-in statistical tools
-- Open and perform any of the 60-plus SPARKlab® interactive lab
activities included free
-- Create electronic student lab journals
SPARKvue HD comes with over 60 SPARKlabs, electronic inquiry-based lab activities, that give teachers the ability to blend background or instructional content, live data collection and analysis, reflection prompts and more, all completely within the SPARKvue HD environment. Teachers can even create their own SPARKlabs.
SPARKvue HD currently supports 24 languages.
The SPARKvue HD app is available from the App Store on iPad for $9.99 USD (or equivalent in other currencies)*.
