Peer reviewedKolodiy, George Oleh – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Described is a LOGO computer program that enables students to investigate the relationship between a digital number and the resistance in a variable resistor used to generate that number. Likewise, actual temperature readings and the corresponding resistance within a thermistor can be used for data gathering and subsequent analysis. (JJK)

Much of the innovation in the use of microcomputers in education has come from classroom teachers who are using computers with students. In October, 1987, forums were held for secondary school science teachers who were using computers in their science classes. Within this document are some of the lesson plans that the participating teachers…

Peer reviewedPowers, Michael H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Discusses various types of transducers and explains the use of a photoresistor in sensing light. Describes various hardware and software combinations which can be used with photoresistors in science laboratory experiments. Presents general applications of this instrument in light-meter, solarimeter, and colorimeter experiments. (TW)

Vernier, David L. – 1986
Science projects which can be used by high school students who have minimal experience with computers or electronics are presented in this book on laboratory interfacing. These laboratory interfacing projects include either the connecting of measuring instruments directly to a computer or using a computer to control external devices. All of the 14…
