Electronic Workbooks -- Exclusively from PASCO

Use technology to guide students successfully through inquiry, exploration and discovery!

PASCO's powerful interactive Electronic Workbook technology creates an eLab environment for the student, tapping into all the power of the DataStudio software, yet allowing students to focus on the science, not the tools.

With Electronic Workbooks you can:

• Modify. Make changes as necessary to keep your lessons up to date.
• Share. Electronic Workbooks can be distributed to your students via a network, Internet or disk.
• Assess. Students use the Electronic Workbooks as a lab notebook, recording their hypothesis, observations, notes and conclusions. Print or electronically submit as any traditional lab report.

Video for Workbooks

See video used in a DataStudio Workbook.

• Drag-and-Drop QuickTime or MPEG movies into any workbook page.
• Easily link a movie to any or all graphs, tables, meters, and digits displays on a workbook page.
• Synchronize a specific movie frame with a specific time in the experiment data.
• Replay synchronized data in all linked displays as movie plays.
• Select any time in the movie and see data in linked displays at that point.

Build a Custom Library of Labs

In addition to the eLabs PASCO has already put together (left), you can create and customize your own set of Electronic Workbooks to meet your specific curriculum needs. Or, customize a classroom activity to transform it into a final assessment or culminating activity.

Electronic Workbooks feature:

• Appealing graphic design and intuitive navigation.
• Intriguing activity introduction prompts students to predict and later compare predictions to their results.
• On-screen display using visual clues covers all laboratory investigation steps.
• Live data tracks forward, so original predictions are linked to results.
• Data graphed in real time as measurements are recorded.
• Students challenged to reflect and describe conclusions.
