KEZI Springfield has a video about how an elementary and middle school in Springfield, Oregon are using Vernier technology.

“The students are very excited about it because they get to learn to read data. They collect data on the computers and they learn to read the data, and that’s probably the most important thing is how do you read data that’s been collected and they are really excited about using the different probes we have,” said fifth grade teacher Rita Weber.

“I really like science because you get to do a lot of experiments and test things on computers and different kinds of probes,” said fifth grader Kate Bakken.
