Abstract

One of the educational goals in science is to not only learn content but also to learn the scientific process. While there is a range of settings for this, such as classrooms and museums, they are not always well connected in educationally viable ways. We are designing Zydeco to bridge the classroom and museum environment and address the following goals: (1) To scaffold science inquiry in a mobile context and (2) to facilitate collaboration among peers. In this paper we will be focusing on the mobile design of Zydeco, which will scaffold structured investigation, data collection and analysis while students are in the museum.
