Educators can bring the real world into the classroom and allow students to actively observe natural phenomena with the EA-100 Casio Data Analysis System. The
hand-held device brings science and math together by measuring and logging data in real time. The EA-100 can be used as a stand-alone data collection device or in tandem with Casio graphing calculators. Users can measure
temperature, light, and voltage with the three included probes; and motion, sound, force, and pH with optional probes. The auto "ID Probe" automatically senses the type of probe connected to each port. Other features include
on-screen guidance that confirms operation status and tracks events at intervals for an overview of events as they progress, and a manual setup function that allows users to select channel, sampling time, and number of samples.
Users can simultaneously collect data on five channels, and can display data from a specified channel during sampling or when sampling is complete. A comprehensive guidebook and an experiment workbook of classroom examples are
included. The EA-100 single unit price is $163; bulk order prices vary. For more information or to order, call (800) 582-2763; or see |
