Product Description: 

Interactive Science Bundle for Autism Spectrum Disorder are science education software programs compatible with interactive whiteboards, TAP•it, and the Intended Touch Platform and designed for students on the autism spectrum. The programs enable students to virtually simulate science experiments, design their own diagrams and experiments, develop scientific method skills, and play games to enhance those skills.

Main Features: 

  • The bundle begins at lower learning levels to introduce scientific reasoning skills. 
  • Older students can use scientific reasoning skills to simulate virtual science experiments and manipulate the variables within the experiments to solve poised questions provided within the program. 
  • Fundamentals of vocabulary, diagrams, charts, and databases are explored in the bundle.
  • The bundle Includes:
    • Flobot: Users gain problem-solving, decision making, memory, and ordering skills as they help Flobot the robot get out of the rainforest safely.
