Now you just have a calculator-looking thing, nothing to do with it, because it's not relevant to the rest of your curriculum, and less money to use on useful things like free and reduced lunches. So your lower income students drop out cause they need to work to help feed the family, they miss sex ed class, and perpetuate the cycle of teenage pregnancy among the lower SES who are unable to recover from a financial setback like having a baby. So it's all the fault of the LabPro. But really, as much as I try to keep an open mind and embrace technology, it's really not a top priority for me. These devices can be used in so many different lab settings.
Students can discover hands on learning about water samples in streams, ponds, and oceans.
Physics can be investigated with pressure and force probes. Chemistry can use the organic and non-organic detection probes. There are so many things a teacher can demonstrate with these units. Graphical Analysis is good software to use for data analysis because it comes in Mac and PC versions and a schoolwide license is very inexpensive. I needed some data for a lab I was doing in Earth Science.
