This new book from Texas Instruments contains 22 middle school science investigations that provide hands-on data collection with a variety of sensors, including temperature, pH, force, motion, voltage, and light. Physical science is explored through properties of matter, motion and force, and transfer of energy. Life science activities investigate living systems, populations and ecosystems, and diversity and adaptations of organisms. The book also provides earth and space science activities. Even though Activities for Middle Grades Science with the CBL 2 and the TI-73 was written for the CBL 2, you can also use it unchanged with the Vernier LabPro interface.
