Promoting Graphical Thinking: Using Temperature and a Graphing Calculator to Teach Kinetics Concepts
Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E.; Moore-Russo, Deborah A.
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n1 p69 Jan 2004
A combination of graphical thinking with chemical and physical theories in the classroom is encouraged by using the Calculator-Based Laboratory System (CBL) with a temperature sensor and graphing calculator. The theory of first-order kinetics is logically explained with the aid of the cooling or heating of the metal bead of the CBL's temperature sensor.
