What is Chickscope?
Using computers in the classroom with access to
the Internet, students and teachers
are able to access data generated from
the latest scientific instruments. The
goals include an increased
understanding of the process of
gathering scientific data and the
opportunity to interact with
scientists from several disciplines
and students in other classrooms The
access to unique scientific resources
and expertise provides motivation for
learning science and mathematics and
stimulates interest in the scientific
world.

The Inquiry
Page
The Inquiry Page is a partner with Chickscope. It is a web site where teachers share units they have created. If you go to the Inquiry Page, click on "Inquiry Units", and search for "egg", "chicken", or "chickscope", you'll see a number of teacher-created units.
More units may be added over time, and we invite you to share what you have done in your classroom. If you have used and modified an
existing Chickscope unit, you can enter that as well, using the Inquiry Page's "spin-off" feature.
