Whichever way you look at it if there was ever going to be the one area of the curriculum that was a perfect fit for ICT then it would have to be science. From searching and sourcing information to communicating and sharing results and findings, from interacting with animations to recording movies, from classification to modelling, from data collection to gaming, computers and associated ICT can make your science classes come alive.
