Re: Online Labs

Here is the reference after a 30 second lookup on Eric under Brasell

EJ354700. Brasell, Heather. The Effect of Real-Time Laboratory Graphing on
Learning Graphic Representations of Distance and Velocity. Journal of
Research in Science Teaching; v24 n4 p385-95 Apr 1987. 1987

The EJ number is the microfiche reference to the complete article in the
ERIC database. The fiche should be available in any good college and in
large public libraries. Any college with an education school should have
the ERIC fiche.

Here is the online abstract:

TITLE: The Effect of Real-Time Laboratory Graphing on Learning Graphic
Representations of Distance and Velocity.
AUTHOR: Brasell, Heather
PUBLICATION_DATE: 1987
JOURNAL_CITATION: Journal of Research in Science Teaching; v24 n4 p385-95
Apr 1987
ABSTRACT: Discusses a study which assessed the effect of a brief kinematics
unit on: (1) students' ability to translate between a physical event and the
graphic representation of it, and; (2) the effect of real-time on graphing
skills. Reports the success of the use of a microcomputer-based laboratory
with graphing velocity and distance. (ML)

<The paper by
Heather Brasell showed that labs with motion detectors can be extremely
beneficial in helping students learn kinematics. <<

First, can I have reference?

What about in that time before when there were not motion
detectors and fancy equipment? How did students learn then?
