• Students use probes to measure movement, speed, temperature, etc. with results immediate in laptop

• Students use spreadsheets to record data, then perform “what if” analysis – what if one element/factor changed – create charts and output
• Students use historical weather data to plot rise and fall of temperatures of land and oceans over time, create charts and reports, find current evidence and impact of climate change - then adjust according to "what if" requests, e.g., "what if the oceans rose in temperature by 1 degree
• Kahn Academy – to assign work, to have students participate
• An example of a teacher using Project-Based Learning for chemistry students
