Physical Science with Calculators contains 40 ready-to-use experiments for physical science (middle school through grade 10). The complete table of contents is shown to the right. Experiments are included for 12 Vernier physical science sensors in chemistry and physics. These experiments are perfect for introductory physical science and integrated science classes!

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!
