Earth Science Books Now Available!
We are pleased to announce the latest additions to our popular line of lab books-Earth Science with Computers
and Earth Science with Calculators. Each book contains 33 experiments for Earth Science topics of geology,
hydrology, oceanography, meteorology, energy, and basic soil and water analysis. Introducing technology into
an Earth Science course allows your students to experience phenomena previously only discussed in text books.
Examples include
- Measuring the UV-blocking capabilities of sunglasses, sunscreens, or clothing using our new UVB Sensor.
- Investigating solar power and wind power using our new Current Probe.
- Examining models of magnetic reversals as evidence of sea floor spreading using a Magnetic Field Sensor.
- Exploring dew point, wind chill, and the Greenhouse Effect using Temperature Probes.
- Studying the effect of evaporation and river outflow on ocean salinity using a Conductivity Probe.
- Exploring the effect acid rain has on various types of soil and surface water using a pH Sensor.
Not only are there 33 experiments using 10 different sensors, but there are also several long-term investigations included. The calculator version of the book contains four projects in meteorology using our Temperature Probes, Barometer, and Relative Humidity Sensor. For the teacher interested in a complete weather station, we are now offering the Davis Vantage Pro. Davis weather stations are easy to use, reliable, and reasonably priced.
