Comprehensive Physics System Lab Manual (Discontinued) - CA-6787
Includes 80 experiments in mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, optics, electricity and magnetism. CD included.
Product Summary
PASCO’s Comprehensive Physics Systems Lab Manual includes 80 experiments in mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, optics, electricity and magnetism. Teachers are encouraged to edit the files as needed for their classes.
The CD has installer files that put the DataStudio configuration files in the “eLabs” directory for the DataStudio program. Copy the other files from the CD to your computer’s hard drive and then use the CD as a backup in case any of the files need to be re-installed.
Optionally you can copy the pages from the manual “as they are,” or edit the included Word files and then print your own version of the activity. Add or delete, change format, trim the activity, or include extensions — the choices are yours.
The activities in the manual are written for the ScienceWorkshop 750 Interface and ScienceWorkshop (“CI-“) sensors that are included in the Comprehensive Physics Systems. However, for almost all of the activities, a PASPORT Interface can be substituted for the ScienceWorkshop Interface, and a PASPORT sensor can be used instead of the ScienceWorkshop sensor.
In addition, PASCO now offers an Analog Adapter that allows you to connect analog ScienceWorkshop sensors (such as the Economy Force Sensor) to a PASPORT Interface. The Digital Adapter allows you to connect a digital ScienceWorkshop sensor (such as the Motion Sensor) to a PASPORT Interface. (NOTE: PASPORT sensors cannot be connected to ScienceWorkshop interfaces.)
Because editable files are included for each activity, you can change the activity so it matches the family of interfaces and sensors you want to use.
