LabQuests are computers that pair well with many types of sensors. I have several old Labquests that are breaking after years of use and I now don’t have enough of them for my classes to use effectively. My goal is that I can have 1 LabQuest for about every 3 students. At this point I have about 1 LabQuest for every 6 students. With the addition of these 2 LabQuests I get to about 1 LabQuest for every 4 students. This will help so much for getting every student to be able to take measurements and get hands on with the technology and not just sitting watching someone else do the project. It is truly fun to watch the discovery process when kids are trying to explain the world around them. With the LabQuests we have sensors that we can attach to carts so that we can study many types of motion and force. In this we can have the LabQuests graph things like acceleration and force with time. This gives excellent visual representations of motion when we are trying to connect ideas of graphing/mathematical models to what we see in the real world around us. We also use LabQuests for more than just motion. We have caloricity experiments with thermal sensors to track temperature change and see if energy labels on food are what they say they are. We use force sensors and the LabQuests when working with Coulomb's Law. The graphs that students can produce allow them to find the Law and write their own equation before I give them the traditional notation for the equation.
