Recent physics education research (PER) data indicates microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) tools coupled with an activity-based physics approach provides a better method of teaching physics by enabling the teaching/learning process to build on students’ direct experiences in the physics classroom/laboratory or studio. These MBL tools give students immediate feedback by presenting data graphically in a manner that can be easily and quickly understood. They will explore approaches and curriculum materials from commercial vendors (and leader developed labs) as well as hardware, software, and sensors from Vernier Software (LabPro/LabQuest Interface and Logger Pro software), PASCO Scientific, and Tracker software. These curriculum materials are often used with sensors and interfaces from other vendors as well.
