• are new to data collection
• need a refresher course on their Vernier equipment
• want to learn from the experts

Subject-Specific Summer Workshops

NEW Elementary Hands-On Workshop

Join us for a day to learn how to integrate Vernier technology into your Elementary classroom. We will explore data collection on computers using Go!Temp, Go! Link, Go! Motion, and Logger Lite software.

We will also explore the use of the LabQuest and features in our Logger Pro software appropriate for use in the elementary classroom.

This 6-hour, hands-on workshop includes lunch and lab handouts. The $99 registration fee includes a copy of Elementary Science with Vernier.

• July 14: Boston, MA
• July 15: Boston, MA

Biology/AP* Biology

The Tech Trio—Vernier, Ward's, and Texas Instruments—will host three 2-day Biology/ AP Biology Summer Workshops that will feature hands-on training integrating technology into your biology and AP Biology classes. A variety of experiments will be offered, including seven of the AP Biology lab activities recommended by The College Board. You will have the opportunity to collect data using probeware on computers and TI graphing calculators.

The $149 registration fee includes a copy of Biology with Vernier.

• June 25-26: Baltimore, MD
• July 21-22: Chicago, IL
• August 11-12: San Diego, CA

Advanced Chemistry

Vernier and Flinn Scientific will co-host three AP*Chemistry hands-on technology workshops. During these 2-day summer workshops, teachers will do many of the 22 experiments recommended by The College Board. These experiments will center around Vernier and Flinn equipment, supplies, and kits, and are from the Vernier- Flinn lab book, Advanced Chemistry with Vernier.

The $149 registration fee includes a copy of Advanced Chemistry with Vernier.

• June 23-24: Baltimore, MD
• July 23-24: Chicago, IL
• August 13-14: San Diego, CA

Physics

These 2-day hands-on workshops give novice and experienced users an opportunity to explore the use of technology in the teaching of physics. The activities will be built around the use of Vernier sensors and software. Three major areas of exploration will be provided:

• One will focus on the features of Logger Pro software that are especially useful to physics teachers; e.g, the analysis of movies and the addition of vectors to graphs and movies.
• The second area will explore a variety of data-collection options; i.e., computers, graphing calculators, wireless, and remote.
• The third area will give participants an opportunity to use each Vernier physics sensor in at least one traditional experiment, inquiry activity, or lab practical.

The $149 registration fee includes a copy of Physics with Vernier.

• June 27-28: Baltimore, MD
• July 25-26: Chicago, IL
• August 15-16: San Diego, CA
