We are pleased to announce our latest in a series of popular lab books, Middle School Science with Computers and Middle School Science with Calculators. Co-authored by Don Volz and Sandy Sapatka, two outstanding integrated science teachers, these experiments are written specifically for grade 6-8 science classes. Here are just a few of the features of these books:


Each book contains nearly 40 experiments, covering a variety of topics in earth science, life science, ecology, and physical science.

Middle School Science with Computers supports the new Vernier LabPro interface, as well as older Vernier interfaces (Serial Box Interface or ULI).

Middle School Science with Calculators supports the use of TI Graphing Calculators with either the new Vernier LabPro or the Texas Instruments CBL 2TM interface. Any of the following TI Graphing Calculators can be used: TI-73, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92, and TI-92 Plus.

A CD is included with each book, which contains the word-processing files for each of the student experiments in both books.
