Video Demonstrates Scientific Products

  • 04/01/96

The Create a New Reality video shows how to stimulate creative, interactive learning in science, math and technology using the Personal Science Laboratory (PSL) line of measurement probes, software and experiment guides.

The 10-minute color video demonstrates the PSL in action and explains how curriculum guides and investigations fit into classroom and lesson plans.

Developed at IBM, the PSL line provides real-time data acquisition and display. The free video shows the phenomena measured by PSL on any IBM-compatible computer -- light, temperature, pH, rotary motion, current, resistance, etc.

"Create a New Reality shows the ease with which students and teachers can get accurate and satisfying results -- typically within just a few minutes," says John Staarmann, president of Team Labs. Team Labs, Boulder, CO, (800) PSL-HELP, www.teamlabs.com.
