Earth Science with Calculators
by  Robyn Johnson
 Gretchen Stahmer DeMoss
 Richard Sorensen

Earth Science with Calculators has 33 experiments in geology, soil analysis, water quality testing, hydrology, oceanography, meteorology, and energy. This book has a wide variety of experiments experiments using 10 different Vernier sensors. The complete table of contents is shown to the right. Integrating data-collection technology into your Earth Science courses is now easier than ever.

Exploring light intensity during different seasons

Each Vernier Lab Book includes:

  • Complete student experiments with materials list, step-by-step instructions, data tables, and questions.
  • Teacher Information section for each experiment with complete directions for setting up experiments, helpful hints, and sample graphs and data.
  • Word-processing files of the student sections on a CD so that any experiment may be easily edited to your specifications (Microsoft Word for Macintosh and Windows files). Each CD includes both the computer and calculator version of each student experiment!
