Human Physiology with Vernier
Our new and highly anticipated lab book, Human Physiology with Vernier, contains 24 human physiology experiments designed to encourage students to think about the physiology of various human organ systems. These activities involve using Vernier sensors such as the Spirometer and Hand Dynamometer to measure the activity of the upper respiratory tract, the lungs, the heart, the nervous system, and the musculoskeletal system.
Vernier EasyLink
The Vernier EasyLink is the least expensive way to collect data using a single sensor and a TI-84 Plus or TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculator. EasyLink is the perfect solution for students and teachers new to data collection in their math or science classroom.
Vernier EasyTemp
Connect Vernier EasyTemp directly to a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator and collect temperature data directly on your calculator! EasyTemp is great in math classrooms for studying exponential functions and more!
