Tom Snyder Releases New Improved Science Court Software
mary | 07 February, 2007 15:00
Tom Snyder Productions is releasing a new, improved version of its award-winning, research-based software series, Science Court 2.0®. The program helps elementary students build lasting understanding of science topics through guided discussion and fun, hands-on learning.
Science Court 2.0 draws on decades of research to help students overcome common misconceptions in science by replacing them with lasting, correct understanding. The software incorporates research-based instruction, hands-on learning, and multimedia to systematically tackle scientific fallacies (e.g., that seasons are caused by the distance of the Earth from the Sun). The program literally puts these ideas on trial in a whole-class setting, creating a structured opportunity for students to use scientific evidence to debunk mistaken beliefs. Through the use of written worksheets, classroom discussion, and hands-on activities, students construct solid scientific understanding of hard-to-teach concepts.
Science Court continues to support teachers-especially those without a strong background in science-with new features such as a multimedia Word Wall to support vocabulary instruction and easy, one-click printing of worksheets. As before, the program provides a title-specific Teacher's Guide with easy-to-follow instructions and assessment materials with answer keys.Science Court 2.0 draws on decades of research to help students overcome common misconceptions in science by replacing them with lasting, correct understanding.

Other new features of Science Court 2.0 include text-captions for hearing impaired and ELL students, and support for today's computers, projectors, and interactive whiteboards.
To complement their curriculum, educators can mix and match 12 engaging Science Court titles: Data & Inquiry, Electric Current, Fossils, Gravity, Inertia, Living Things, Particles in Motion, Seasons, Soil, Sound, Water Cycle, and Work & Simple Machines. In addition to focusing on a specific curriculum topic, each title includes Macintosh/Windows software, and a comprehensive Teacher's Guide.
