<p>
We are developing new computational tools that allow children to create their own scientific instrumentsenabling today's children, like scientists of earlier eras, to become engaged in scientific inquiry not only through observing and measuring, but also through designing and building. We have found that students, by building their own scientific instruments, will not only become more motivated in science activities, but will also develop critical capacities in evaluating scientific measurements and knowledge, make stronger connections to the scientific concepts underlying their investigations, and develop deeper understandings of the relationship between science and technology.
