Investigating Chemistry Students' Learning about the Relationship between the Temperature and the Pressure of a Gas Using a Microcomputer-Based Laboratory (MBL): A Word of Caution.

Thomas, Gregory P.; McRobbie, Campbell J.

Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, v2 n3 p321-38 Jul 2002

Focuses on practices related to the use of a microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) in a high school chemistry course in which students studied gases and kinetic theory. Reports that little or no higher order thinking was employed as students engaged in using the MBL and that some alternative conceptions were still evident. (Contains 42 references.) (Author/YDS)
