Streamlining Science: Three New Science Tools Make Data Collection a Snap
Brown, Mike
Technology & Learning, v26 n6 p16 Jan 2006
Today, collecting, evaluating, and analyzing data--the basic concepts of scientific study--usually involves electronic probeware. Probeware combines sensors that collect data with software that analyzes it once it has been sent to a computer or calculator. Science inquiry has benefited greatly from the use of electronic probeware, providing students with expanded opportunities to collect more precise data and in larger amounts. Students have much more information available to them to make inferences and draw conclusions. New advances in probeware from Vernier, PASCO/ImagiWorks, and Fourier Systems continue to streamline the data-collection process. This article describes the features of three new probewares--ImagiProbe Wireless System/PASCO PASPORT AirLink from ImagiWorks/PASCO, Easylink from Vernier Software, and Trilink from Fourier Systems.
