Investigating Plant Growth and Development Using the DigitalSeed

Περίληψη

Here we present the ‘DigitalSeed’ toy for making investigations around these concepts of plant growth and development. Plant growth and development are fundamental concepts in learning biology, yet there is a recorded lack of motivation of young people to grapple with these concepts because of the contextualisation of plant biology. We aim therefore to make the concepts more accessible to children through hands-on digital interaction; this is part of an on-going project investigating improved ways of science learning involving digital media.
