This document discusses how a SMART Board can support primary science education based on the Scottish curriculum. It outlines software tools like Kidspiration, Number Magic and Crocodile Clips that can be used. It also discusses using SMART Notebook resources from the gallery and shared folders, which include topics like animals, astronomy, biology, chemistry and more. Resources from the Falkirk Virtual Teacher Center are also recommended.

⢠Spreadsheets help with a series of calculations that need to
be repeated often.
⢠Once they are set up they can be used to explore the effect
of changing one number on the others.
⢠The data can also be displayed very easily as a graph or
chart.
