“We selected the Labdisc because we believe it brings added value to our inquiry-based learning sessions.”

With the help of experienced science teachers Professor Retalis and his team have created several Labdisc scenarios, designed for junior high education. They introduce scientific theory, and practical application which is fully tested in the classroom. The scientific measures are collected and analyzed and then published to the SAILS consortium in English and Greek for use in teacher training sessions by the other 12 partnering countries.
