Gandole, Yogendra Babarao – Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
The roles of teachers and students are changing, and there are undoubtedly ways of learning not yet discovered. However, the computer and software technology may provide a significant role to identify the problems, to present solutions and life-long learning. It is clear that the computer based educational technology has reached the point where…

A Computer-Interfaced O2 Probe: Instrumentation for Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratories.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Adamson, Gary E.; Nakhleh, Mary B.; Zimmerman, James R. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1997
Describes interfacing a hand-held oxygen probe with a microcomputer and suggests experiments for undergraduate chemistry courses that could facilitate student understanding of aquatic environmental processes which involve dissolved oxygen. Data can be analyzed through the program or exported into other software. Presents results of an experiment…

To Determine the Percentage of Copper in a Brass Screw Using a Computer Interface with a Colorimeter.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Horgan, Joan; Hedge, Robyn – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1997
Year 11 students investigated the real-world problem of whether screws are really brass. It allowed them to use the colorimeter and computer interface in a way that was easily understood and models normal practice in testing laboratories. Screws were dissolved in nitric acid and their absorbance of red light was compared with a standard curve.…

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