GEAR UP and Vernier Science Education
How We Partner with GEAR UP Programs
With Vernier solutions, your students can spark their curiosity in the world around them by designing their own experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and expanding their scientific thinking.
Vernier solutions give students the tools they need to be inspired by and experience STEM just like a college student or professional would. Students can
- Solidify understanding of core science concepts such as motion, acids and bases, and cellular respiration with our physics, chemistry, and biology solutions.
- Explore medical careers with our human physiology sensors.
- Create engineering and environmental science projects with our KidWind line of renewable energy products.
Plus, we support rigorous coursework (such as AP classes, Project Lead the Way programming, dual-credit courses, project-based learning, and career and technical education).
We support GEAR UP with
- Solutions for data collection and analysis specifically created for your classroom needs
- Professional development to further enhance your educators’ teaching skills
- Engaging, phenomenon-based, and hands-on curricular materialsÂ
- In-kind contributions to extend your science programÂ
- Help writing STEM and science sections of your GEAR UP proposal
Explore all the ways that Vernier can be your partner for science and STEM learning.

The Vernier STEM Classroom
The Vernier STEM Classroom is an integrated approach to using the full catalog of Vernier hardware, software, content, assessment, professional development, and technical support to make high-quality STEM education possible for all high school students. As we create the Vernier STEM Classroom, we want to gather feedback from GEAR UP teachers to help us ensure it addresses your specific needs.
