A two-volume set intended for use in a lab equipped with microcomputer-based tools such as electronic sensors, microcomputer interface, and software for data collection and analysis. Activities invite students to construct physical models based on observations from real experiments, using a learning cycle of prediction, observation, and comparison based on physics education research. Module I covers classical mechanics and Module II covers heat and thermodynamics. Includes pre-lab preparation sheets and homework, with space for answers on perforated, hole-punched pages, plus b&w diagrams and graphs on every page. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
