Computer-Based Laboratory Experiments

I have worked with middle school students and computer probes for several years. We mostly used equipment from Vernier Software, but we also had the Broderbund Science Toolkit.

Vernier Software

 

8565 S.W. Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy
Portland, OR 97225-2429

503-297-5317

Offers a complete line of computer probes, interfaces, and software.
Also a lot of information on interfacing to joystick ports on Apple IIe's and IBM-PC's.

Broderbund Software

 

"Out-of-print"
Several years ago, Broderbund offered a series of software titles ("Science Toolkit") that included simple probes that could be hooked up to the joystick port of an Apple IIe or IBM-PC. This was a very inexpensive way to get started in computer-based labs.
