EasyData Versions of Vernier Labs

If you have been waiting to make the move to EasyData because your Vernier lab book activities are all written for DataMate, your wait is nearly over. We have been diligently working to update all of our activities for EasyData, and these new versions will be available in June. All Vernier lab books purchased after June will contain the updated labs on the CD in the back of each book.
