Middle School Science with Computers was written specifically for students in grades 6-8. It contains 37 experiments in earth science, life science, and physical science, making use of ten different Vernier middle school sensors. The complete table of contents by sensor is listed to the right. Your students will really enjoy doing these well-written and well-tested science experiments!

Exploring gravity with a motion detector

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!
