2025 has been a year of momentum and meaningful progress. We grew our Trendsetters Community, launched remote logging for Go Direct® sensors, and added new sensors to our lineup. We also continued modernizing our suite of analysis apps to give educ...

From everyday activities like opening a door or riding a bike to more complex applications like designing safer cars or propelling rockets into space, force impacts countless aspects of our daily lives. Yet, for many students, force remains an abstr...

If you’ve ever tried to explain acids and bases and gotten blank stares, it might be time to bring in the hot sauce. I was inspired by this year’s National Chemistry Week theme, “The Hidden Life of Spices,” to cook up a new Vernier activity,...

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are essential concepts in any biology class, but because they’re abstract, they’re often tricky for students to grasp. As a former biology educator, I know how challenging it can be to help students move b...

When I was teaching AP Physics C, I assumed rotational motion would be easy for my students. These were strong math and science learners—most of them were already in calculus. So I used to introduce rotational motion by saying, “You already know...

When I was teaching in the classroom, chemical equilibrium was not only a difficult topic for students to understand, but it was also a tricky topic to teach. Students can’t see molecules shifting between reactants and products, and the concept of...

The first week of school is a great time to lean into student curiosity, help everyone get comfortable with your lab routines and tools, and build students’ confidence with Vernier sensors and software. Whether you teach middle school science, hig...

Whether it’s through science fiction novels, engaging literary nonfiction, or comics, educators are finding creative ways to bring literacy into STEM learning. These approaches echo the research‑backed connections between Common Core literacy st...

At Beyond Benign, we believe chemistry education can be a powerful force for good. Green chemistry offers educators a practical way to teach core science concepts while prioritizing human health, environmental responsibility, and innovation. In this...

With more than 150 experiments in our lab books that use the Go Direct® Temperature Probe, it’s no exaggeration to say this sensor is one of the most versatile tools in any science classroom.  From modeling exothermic reactions in chemist...
