According to the US National Science Teacher’s Association, in middle schools (ages 11-13), a minimum of 80 percent of the science instruction time should be spent on laboratory-related experience. Only a limited number of experiments, however, can be carried out by a student in a real brick-andmortar laboratory without compromising on cost and safety.
Tata Interactive Systems offers a solution with Interactive Virtual Science Labs for Earth, Life, and Physical Sciences that:
- Are mapped to key objectives, state standards, and chapters of textbooks.
- Give students the freedom to experiment and explore scientific concepts in a real-life scenario.
- Encourage retention of science concepts in a hands-on application.
Tata Interactive Systems’ Interactive Virtual Science Labs are effective because they:
- Are highly interactive.
- Provide learning-by-doing.
- Have rich graphics.
- Promote correct scientific methods.
- Are mapped to key objectives.
- Simulate real-life environments.
- Are mapped to state standards (for educators).
- Are mapped to individual chapters (for publishers).
- Produce high levels of cognition and retention.
