Project Books for Apple II Computers

If you have an Apple II computer and if your students are interested in using it for science projects, then these two books are for you! Each book has 14 projects for students (or teachers) who want to learn about laboratory interfacing via the Apple II game port. Each chapter consists of a core project that involves assembling an electronic circuit. Sample programs for use with the core project are included on a disk. Suggestions are given for extending the project by improving the programs, adding to the hardware, of doing further experiments. Parts kits are available for several of the projects in each book. Refer to our Apple II catalog, or contact us for details.

How to Build a Better Mousetrap and 13 Other Science Projects Using the Apple II

by David L. Vernier

The first book from Vernier Software! If you have an Apple II computer and if your students are interested in using =it for science projects, then How to Build a Better Mousetrap is for you! This book has 14 projects for students (or teachers) who want to learn about laboratory interfacing via the Apple II+/IIe/IIGS game port. Each chapter consists of a "core project" that involves assembling an electronic circuit. Sample programs for use with the core project are included on a disk. Suggestions are given for extending the project by improving the programs, adding to the hardware, or doing further experiments. This is a great book for independent study or science fair projects!
