Moving on from the Home screen
With the Home screen displayed, you are ready to move into a SPARKlab. A SPARKlab is a
multi-page environment where your science investigation takes place.
Complete one of the following tasks to open an embedded SPARKlab, show a measurement in
a SPARKlab, or build a custom SPARKlab.
Opening a SPARKlab
The SPARK Science Learning System includes over 60 embedded SPARKlabs. Complete these
steps to open a SPARKlab:
1. Connect the sensors required for the SPARKlab that you wish to do.
2. If there are unneeded sensors connected, disconnect them.
3. In the Home screen, touch Open.
A list of folders appears.
4. Touch the folder corresponding your subject area.
5. If necessary, touch a subfolder.
6. Touch the SPARKlab that you would like to open.
7. Touch OK.
The SPARKlab opens.
Follow the on-screen instructions to continue your science investigation. Touch the Page Navi-
gator to turn pages.
Showing a SPARKlab
A show-path SPARKlab is the fastest way to record data and display it in a graph, table, digits
display, and meter. Complete these steps to show a SPARKlab:
1. Connect a sensor.
2. In the Home screen, touch the measurement that you would like to show.
The selected measurement is highlighted.
3. Touch Show.
Note: A measurement must be selected for Show to be available.
A four-page SPARKlab opens.
