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.

Saurino, Dan R.; Bouma, Amy; Gunnoe, Brenda – 1999
This study evaluates the use of graphing calculators in the science classroom within the context of a collaborative action research approach. A class of diversified middle-class students (n=650) defined by teachers and administrators as "above average" were studied. Initially, information was gathered on current classroom management techniques as…

Albrecht, Bob; Firedrake, George – CSTA Journal, 1998
Running experiments and grabbing experimental data are great ways to learn and teach science and mathematics. Data grabbers are instruments that capture physical data in electronic form for graphing and analysis in graphing calculators and computers. Describes some data grabbers and points to items in their gigantic support system. (PVD)
