Technology in the Lab; Part II: Practical Suggestions for Using Probeware in the Science Classroom
Hisim, Nusret
Science Teacher, v72 n7 p38 Oct 2005
Probeware is increasingly being implemented in science classrooms because it is less expensive than it used to be and improvements in hardware and software have made it more accessible to students and teachers. Many probes or sensors can now simply be connected to a computer, calculator, or other handheld device, and will immediately begin to collect data once connected. Part II of this two-part article offers a range of practical suggestions for using probes in laboratory teaching across the sciences. The author focuses on probeware activities he has used in the classroom and worked on with individual students as science fair projects. By being able to collect, analyze, and adjust data so quickly and easily with probeware, students can investigate science topics of interest to them in an exciting manner.
