Designed to enable simpler, smoother, and faster interactions between your students and the science you're teaching.
Intuitive icon-based navigation keeps the focus on the learning, not the tool.
Provides real-time, quantitative measurement and analysis with the PASPORT line of sensors.
Energise student reflection and discussion with built-in predictions, annotation tools, snapshot capability, and an electronic journal.
Display data in multiple simultaneous representations, including graphs, tables, digital displays, and analog meters.
Optimised for touchscreen systems – perfect for interactive whiteboards and tablet PCs.
Easily export data in a range of formats.
Create interactive SPARKlabs for use on your computer, your iPad / Android tablet or on the SPARK Science Learning System.
Enables multiple modes of discovery -- from guided inquiry to open-ended exploration

Over 100 Free SPARKlabs!
The Only Integrated Science Labs
SPARKlabs are complete science activities designed for use with the SPARKvue software. Each lab contains the background information, materials & setup instructions, and data collection all in one place as well as prompts for students to answer questions, make predictions and analyse their results throughout.
There are SPARKlabs in the areas of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics as well as SPARKlabs designed specifically for Middle and Elementary school students.
No more flipping back and forth on photocopied lab handouts or worrying that students haven't read the necessary background info before coming to class - with SPARKlabs the information is presented in a stepwise fashion, as it is needed.
Students are presented with the background information to read and then are immediately asked to demonstrate their understanding by answering questions. And just as with data they collect or analysis questions afterward, any and all student input is captured in their electronic journal with the push of a button.
Beyond the over 100 free SPARKlabs additional titles have been created for purchase with more SPARKlabs being added to the growing library each year.
Learn about image capture and analysis in the latest free update to SPARKvue and the SPARK Science Learning System.Images from a Digital Microscope are captured, annotated, and analysed within a SPARKlab, both with and without the collection of corresponding probeware data.
Learn how the new Bar Graph display is used to collect discrete sensor measurements in SPARKvue. This example with the Noncontact Temperature Sensor also demonstrates how to pair the wireless AirLink 2 interface to an iPad.
This 8-minute movie demonstrates how to:
> pair an AirLink 2 to an iPad
> build and configure a SPARKvue bar graph display
> record Noncontact Temperature Sensor measurements into the bar graph via manual sampling
> use the Statistics tool to analyze bar graph data.
Learn how the new Bar Graph display is used to display data collected independent of sensors in SPARKvue HD on an iPad.
