Science With Handhelds
Edited by John Gastineau, Dan Holmquist, Gretchen Stahmer DeMoss.

Science with Handhelds has 42 printed experiments in the following subject areas:

  • Introduction to Data Collection (1 experiment)
  • Biology/Life Science (9 experiments)
  • Chemistry (9 experiments)
  • Earth Science (9 experiments)
  • Physics (9 experiments)
  • Water Quality (5 tests)

In addition to 42 printed experiments, Science with Handhelds includes 234 experiments rewritten for use with Palm handhelds on the CD that accompanies the book.

These experiments support our new Data Pro data collection program for Palm and Visor handhelds. The labs in the book include the very best experiments from eight of our existing lab books, as well as teacher information for each experiment. Included is a CD that has all of the word-processing files for each student experiment (in Microsoft Word) to allow you to edit any experiment to meet your personal teaching style.

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).
