    This stuff is cool!

    This equipment expands your capabilities in the classroom by allowing you to do experiments you could never do in a high school lab while saving you precious set-up and laboratory time.

    The best thing about this equipment is that it is cutting edge - students get to see experimental results in real time on their computer screens while performing the collection of data with a huge variety of probes and accessory equipment - all of which is very easy to use.

    Mac and Windows environments are supported by excellent software - the learning curve for staff and students isn't steep at all. What does it look like? Well...

    A probe, like the EKG one shown above (yes, students can do EKG's!) connects to an interface (in the middle) which plugs into the computer. That's it! 40 probes are available to measure darn near every type of scientific data, stimulus and parameter there is. You won't regret your purchase of this equipment... I know I don't.

    You sacrifice nothing by investing in this equipment... for those of you interested in doing very demanding physics experimenting, you might want to consider Pasco's new 750 interface, which is loaded with ports and also has a built-in power supply!

    You can see all sides of the 750 interface with this object movie, if your Quicktime plug-in is handy!
