Extended Free Trial Periods for Two Vernier Apps

To support educators during this unprecedented time, we are extending the free trial periods for our Vernier Graphical Analysis^™ Pro and Vernier Video Analysis^® apps through June 2022. 

Graphical Analysis Pro is our premier tool for data collection, visualization, and analysis. When used in conjunction with our sensors, this award-winning app takes hands-on science education to a new level. 

With Video Analysis, students can use their mobile devices to insert a video with recorded motion, mark points to track the object in motion, and analyze the collected data—all in one dedicated and streamlined app.

Activate your free trials of Graphical Analysis Pro and Video Analysis today!

Product Updates

• Vernier Coding Activities with JavaScript^™: Go Direct^® Sensors
  Guided by the activities in this e-book, students combine JavaScript and Vernier data-collection tools to develop an interactive web page that collects and displays graphs and live data from a Go Direct sensor. Along the way, students learn how to use HTML and CSS to customize the look and feel of their content so that each student creates their own unique web page.
