Review for:Vernier's Free Sample Labs (using their probes)If you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on January 31, 2007 at 3:03PM
My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: Physics
Topic I was teaching: Magnetism
My learning goal for which this resource was used: I was looking for other teacher's ideas on how to use the magnetic field probes.
Course Level: Honors or Advanced
How I/my students used the resource: My students did not use this resource at all. I found the magnetic field probe lab "The Magnetic Field of a Slinky" to have some very good ideas on how to use the probes in the classroom. I tried the experiment, then significantly modified it for my class learning needs. I will certainly return to this site to look at other labs for different probes; while I did not adopt this one compeltely, it led me to a relatively successful lab.
Value Added: curriculum ideas for teachers
Strengths: There is a broad range of different labs for different probes in all the subjects. The labs are written by educators, and the ones I have seen seem NOT to assume that the equipment will work perfectly.
Weaknesses: Pdf files are not so easy to alter (unless you have the costly software). Finding this site is difficult unless you specifically know where you are going.
