What you just watched
That was Energy Detectives Lab — a science investigation activity. Here’s what happened:
They run interactive investigations
Students use thermal scanners, graphs and gauges to explore conduction, radiation and insulation through visual, curriculum-based tasks.
Instant feedback guides learning
Incorrect answers prompt students to try again with support, while correct responses reinforce understanding immediately. Students learn from mistakes in real time.
Results are ready to go
The activity generates a personalised feedback report with scores and achievement information that can be printed or saved as a PDF where supported.
Simple for teachers. Active for students.
So What Exactly Are They?
Interactive teaching tools are digital learning experiences that actively involve students in the lesson.
Students read, listen, choose, investigate, solve problems and receive feedback as they work. Aura resources open in a modern web browser and are built around curriculum content, with clear visuals, read-aloud support, simple navigation and purposeful interaction.
There are no student accounts to create, no software to install and no complicated platform for teachers to manage.
