The role of the laboratory is central in high school physics courses since students must construct their own understanding of physics ideas. This knowledge cannot simply be transmitted by the teacher, but must be developed by students in interactions with nature and the teacher. Meaningful learning will occur where laboratory activities are a well-integrated part of a learning sequence. The separation of laboratory activities from lecture is artificial, and not desirable in high school physics

Students are introduced to basic computer usage. Digital still and video cameras help students and teachers create digital projects that can be shared in print or electronically. Podcasts and multimedia presentations are created to share research or for digital storytelling.
     Every student has a unique network log in, however, we also use generic log in's for younger students and some collaborative projects.
