Vernier Science Education

Are you ready for #NSTAFall2024 in NOLA? Visit us at Booth 400, where you can test your hang time with the Go Direct® Force Plate, see physics in motion with the new Cart Fan, and enter to win one of 100 prizes, including sensors, software, swag, and more! You can also join us for a hands-on workshop in Room 262, where our expert team of former educators will walk you through integrating Vernier tech into your curriculum and share 3D science investigation ideas, tech tips, and more.  #STEMEd #ITeachSTEM

Looking for a hands-on circular motion experiment? Check this out! Educator Rob Spencer shares a hands-on physics experiment using the Go Direct® Force and Acceleration Sensor. Students measure string length and tension at different speeds to find out the mass of a spinning object. By graphing their results, students can more easily visualize challenging physics concepts! #STEMEd #ITeachPhysics #PhysicsEducation

Why do car headlights look dim from a distance, but bright up close? How do sunglasses block out glares? How can light waves transmit messages? Read our blog post for three physics investigations that explore real-world phenomena with the Go Direct® Light and Color Sensor. https://lnkd.in/gP63YEVV #ITeachPhysics #STEMEd #STEMEducation

See how students are harnessing the power of renewable energy with KidWind Project, Inc. in This American Land on PBS! Skip to 9:45 to watch Virginia students use KidWind turbines, Vernier Graphical Analysis®, and Vernier sensors to explore the science behind wind power. Students also build important skills like public speaking and teamwork that help prepare them for jobs in renewable energy and other sectors. https://lnkd.in/ggxCyNTk

Want to bring relevant spectroscopy techniques into your biology curriculum? Join our free webinar to learn how to use the Go Direct® SpectroVis® Plus Spectrophotometer to conduct experiments like Bradford protein assays, cellobiase enzyme studies, and size exclusion chromatography.  Whether you're a high school or college biology educator, this 45-minute webinar will provide valuable insights into teaching key concepts through absorbance, emission, and fluorescence spectroscopy. You'll gain strategies for creating standard curves, conducting quantitative analysis of biomolecules, and incorporating both general and advanced spectroscopy experiments into your current biology curriculum. Plus, all attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for professional development hours! https://lnkd.in/gyVcFtRD #ITeachBiology #EdTech

Finish off National Chemistry Week with an introduction to nuclear radiation in real-world medical imaging. In this advanced chemistry experiment, students use the Go Direct® Radiation Monitor to explore how air, paper, and aluminum interact with alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. This experiment can help students connect classroom science to real-world applications like nuclear medicine and radioisotope imaging.

Looking for ways to support your science teachers’ professional growth? Hear directly from educators about why they decided to apply to the Vernier Trendsetters Community! This program empowers teachers to connect with peers, explore innovative teaching strategies, and stay up to date with the latest Vernier STEM technology. Watch the video to learn why this opportunity could help strengthen science instruction at your school.

Keep the National Chemistry Week excitement going with another engaging experiment from Vernier! Reveal hidden images and learn about fluorescence by analyzing invisible ink, measuring wavelengths, and calculating photon energy. Our forensic chemistry experiment showcases how science is used in forensics to reveal hidden clues and can be connected to ideas in art restoration, medical imaging, and beyond.  Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gxhYR3X3 #STEMEd #ITeachChem #NationalChemistryWeek

Make chemistry concepts easier to understand this Mole Day! Watch our webinar recording to see two of our hands-on electrochemistry activities in action. These experiments help students see how moles connect to real-world science while using safe, eco-friendly methods. Learn how to help your high school or college students better understand big ideas like Avogadro's number and electron movement. 

Celebrate #NationalChemistryWeek with picture perfect chemistry experiments from Vernier! All cameras work by capturing light and recording it onto a medium. But light is not just a technical element—it’s also essential to the creative process in photography, influencing how we perceive color. With our light and color sensor and temperature probe, students can explore how different colors reflect light and how energy absorption affects temperature. This understanding can give aspiring photographers greater technical precision and creative control. https://lnkd.in/gFwCEFuj #STEMEd #ChemistryEd #ITeachChemistry
