Water Quality Bottles
Box of 8 plastic bottles with stoppers for general water quality use. They could also be used as replacements for the bottles and stoppers in the Primary Productivity Kit.
Real-World Math with Vernier Lab Book
Real-Word Math with Vernier: Connecting Math and Science contains 32 activities that explore real-world mathematical applications of concepts from algebra through calculus.
Mirror Set for the Optics Expansion Kit
The Mirror Set for the Optics Expansion Kit extends the kit to allow students to easily study image formation by concave and convex mirrors.
Polarizer/Analyzer Set
The Polarizer/Analyzer Set extends the Optics Expansion Kit to allow students to study polarization of light. Using a Rotary Motion Sensor to record analyzer angle, Malus’s Law experiments are easy, detailed, and accurate.
Video Physics: A Winner
Greg Jacob blogged about the ease and usefulness of Vernier Video Physics:
As a testament to this app’s ease of use, I produced a useful video and graph within minutes of first opening the app, without reading any sort of instruction manual. Then, I showed my 8 year old how it worked. He spent a couple hours taking and analyzing videos, proudly showing his grandmother that the dropped ball was going 600 cm/s, but the dog’s nose only went 150 cm/s. I approve.
Physics Education Reviewed Vernier’s LabVIEW Engineering Books
Chris Butlin from Physics Education Journal reviewed Vernier’s two LabVIEW engineering education books.
Engineering Projects with NI LabVIEW™ and Vernier is an invaluable follow up for those who have already gained some experience with LabVIEW™. Although its title suggests that it can only be used with engineering or technology classes, much of the book has applications in physics and wider science education.
NSTA Recommends Advanced Physics with Vernier – Mechanics
The Advanced Physics with Vernier - Mechanics lab book was favorably reviewed by NSTA Recommends.
It joins Investigating Environmental Science through Inquiry and Investigating Chemistry through Inquiry on NSTA’s recommended list of outstanding science-teaching materials.
LabQuest Named Best STEM Solution
We’re honored to receive EdTech Digest 2011 Award for the LabQuest interface in the STEM solutions category.
Here’s a short description of the award criteria:
“…innovative, respected and outstanding cool tools, leaders and trendsetters moving education forward into the 21st century”
Hattiesburg High Testing Football Helmets with Vernier Technology
Hattiesburg High’s polymer science students will be able to conduct all types of experiments they haven’t had the chance to do before when they receive new equipment.
“In the football helmet tests, it’s an impact test,” Brownlow said. “We can test both the force transmitted through the material and how much force is shed by the material.”
Watts Up Pro, Logger Pro, and Electric Motors
Rhett Allain, an associate professor of physics at Southeastern Louisiana University, wrote about monitoring the power usage of his freezer (we did too) with a Watts Up Pro and Logger Pro, and ended up talking about curly electric fields.
