Use Inspiration^® in science to deepen students' understanding of concepts, such as Newton's laws of motion. Creating a concept map helps students learn new information and build on their existing body of knowledge as they recognize the relationships between components.

Students use Inspiration to visually explore complex processes like the Nitrogen cycle and organize information for better recall as in the Skeletal system.
