Physics with Vernier
By Kenneth Appel, John Gastineau, Clarence Bakken,
and David Vernier
Physics with Vernier has 35 experiments in mechanics, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism. This book has a wide variety of experiments for Motion Detectors, Force Sensors, Light Sensors, Magnetic Field Sensors, Microphones, Current & Voltage Probes, Photogates, Temperature Probes, and Accelerometers.
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).
-
CD includes instructions to perform the experiments on every supported platform:
- Computer
- LabQuest in Stand-Alone Mode
- Calculator (EasyData and Datamate)
- Palm® Handheld
