Third year LabLearner teacher, Mrs. Marko, discusses her pedagogical methods for constantly relating LabLearner laboratory experiences to the appropriate scientific concepts.

Sr. Joseph Margaret and Ms. Andrea Narvareaz of Mt. Aviat Academy in Childs, Maryland discuss their approach to mixing preK groups in the LabLearner lab. The manipulatives they use (plastic pencils) are commercially available. Also, notice the yellow power chord “pull-downs” hanging from the ceiling in the background. There are five or six of these electrical outlets in the lab. Mt. Aviat helped pioneer these devices in LabLearner labs. They can be pulled down by the teacher when they are needed in lab and then retracted when the lab is completed. NO CHORDS TO TRIP OVER! Mt. Aviat Academy is a wonderful school on a truly beautiful campus.
