This article describes a project called Technology-Based Learning in School Science (tBLISS). The program goals were two fold -- to investigate the feasibility of implementing a technology-based science curriculum with a small group of teachers and their students and to examine how students acquire science process skills in such a learning environment. The article briefly describes the six units of the curricula and how it was implemented around a water-based theme. One of the outcomes was the realization that simple technology was more likely to be used again than technology that was complicated to learn.
