Using Computer Interfacing to Graphically Illustrate Phases of Water.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pushkin, David B.; Zheng, Ting Fang – Physics Education, 1995
Using a computer and thermistor probes, students analyze graphs of temperature versus time. The experiment demonstrates phase changes in water, which can lead to a broader interpretation of matter, its properties, and the laws of thermodynamics. (Author/AIM)

Virtual Titrator: A Student-Oriented Instrument.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ritter, David; Johnson, Michael – Journal of Chemical Education, 1997
Describes a titrator system, constructed from a computer-interfaced pH-meter, that was designed to increase student involvement in the process. Combines automatic data collection with real-time graphical display and interactive controls to focus attention on the process rather than on bits of data. Improves understanding of concepts and…

Using the Graphing Calculator--in Physics Labs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Taylor, Richard L. – Physics Teacher, 1995
Describes the use of the TI-82 graphics calculator as an intermediate step in introducing computers to the high-school physics lab. Discusses linking the calculator with other machines so that students can save data, enter programs on a computer and later download to the calculator, and transfer graphs to a computer for printing.

Investigating Power, Work and Effective Values in an AC Resistive Circuit through a Microcomputer-Based Laboratory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Trumper, Ricardo; Gelbman, Moshe – Physics Education, 1997
Presents examples of experiments designed for high school students with the help of a microcomputer-based laboratory called Explorer. Argues that these tools enable students to investigate many principles of physics that were not feasible in the past. (DDR)

Learning Kinematics with a V-Scope: A Case Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Trumper, Ricardo – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1997
Studies the effect of V-Scope activities on the performance of 11th-grade students in analyzing kinematics graphs. Students were challenged to construct different kinds of graphs using their own movements as well as the motion of a dynamics cart. Results indicate that the V-Scope kinematics laboratory activities can promote kinematics concepts and…
