<< a) Do you use CBl's moderately, extensively ,or for a few experiments.

For every experiment in regular, honors and AP. I just invented a way to use
the light probe for the ripple tank. I use a motion detector to get the
molecular mass of a gas.

b) Brief description of how successful these experiments are in your
classroom.
Very successful, otherwise I would not do it. I've been doing this since the
CBL was invented.

c) Problems you encounter.

None that were not there with traditional equipment and most of them are gone.

Please understand I may be the only one using CBLs. most of my colleague
insist that the ULI or MBL is the ONLY way to go, etc. It's the same probes
-but they are just too arrogant

My wife an I just did a 1/ 1/2 presentation of science experiments/demos with
the CBL at T^3 conference at Chicago. The balloons that are connected and
blown up to different sizes is very obvious with a pressure probe.
