This project will establish one General Chemistry laboratory with twelve workstations equipped with microcomputers and interface units. The workstations interface the microcomputer with sensors that function as a voltmeter, ammeter, pH meter, light detector, or thermometer. The computer allows students to control the experiment, collect and analyze the data, and obtain real-time results. Interfaced microcomputers provide valuable experience for students in functional uses of computers. Second, properly designed experiments encourage in- depth thought resulting in better understanding of experiments and, hence, chemistry. The units will be also be used in a summer institute for high school chemistry teachers.
