LabQuest in Antarctica	By Robyn Johnson, Vernier Software & Technology By its name alone, LabQuest seems destined for adventure. When I decided to go on a National Geographic Expedition to Antarctica in January, there was no doubt in my mind that I would be taking mine with me. Sailing from Ushuaia, Argentina, we spent almost two days crossing the infamous Drake Passage. For eight days, we sailed around the Antarctic Peninsula, seeing incredible scenery, many seals, whales, and literally hundreds of ...

Student Rocket Launch	Three different high school groups launched LabPros in rockets as part of the NASA Student Launch Initiative Program this spring. The teams were given the mission of building a rocket that would go one mile high carrying a scientific payload, take data, and then return safely. A team from University School of Milwaukee, WI launched two LabPros with an Accelerometer, UVA, UVB, and CO2 sensors. A team from Skyline HS, Sammamish, WA, launched a LabPro with a UVA, UVB, and Light Sensor. A th...

Earth Day with Evergreen State College	Earth Science with Vernier Water Quality with Vernier If there�s one thing the state of Washington has plenty of, it�s water. Blessed by an abundance of rain, and laced with a network of lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds, the state is typically lush and green year-round. But a steadily shrinking ozone layer, acid rain, and other environmental calamities are as much of a threat to the verdant Pacific Northwest as they are to the country�s drier climes. That�s why Dr. Dharshi B... [more] Science Subjects: Earth Science, Water Quality	UVA Sensor pH Sensor UVB Sensor LabPro Interface Logger Pro 3
LabPro's Antarctic Adventure	Heike Robinson, physics teacher, and sea kayaker, measures the temperature of Antarctic waters with a LabPro, Palm, and Stainless Steel Temperature Probe. Four years ago, Heike Robinson started sea kayaking. The more she learned about paddling, the more she discovered about the physics behind it. She started using examples from boating to help her students visualize many concepts, such as force, resistance, heat-flow rate (hypothermia), vector addition, and moment of inertia. In...
