• This valuable activities-based book offering integrated experimental exercises appropriate for preservice mathematics and science teachers, and also serves as a practical resource for inservice teachers desiring knowledge on how to integrate mathematics and science with technology. This book explores a broad range of sciences: physics, earth science, chemistry and biology. Basic mathematics skills in algebra, statistics, and geometry are expanded by the use of classroom-appropriate technology such as graphing calculators, handheld data collection devices, and simple analytical instrumentation. The lessons presented in this experimental guidebook have all been field-tested. They work! Set-up time is minimal, chemicals used are mostly household available, and waste disposal is not a problem. Most chapters begin with a historical approach, laying the foundation in both mathematics and science. Readers are guided through one or more experimental exercises per concept. Inservice and preservice math and science teachers.
