Beer’s law is a cornerstone of high school and introductory college chemistry—but it’s often taught with chemicals that require extra safety considerations and disposal planning. After teaching Beer’s law for decades using traditional compou...
Agricultural science blends biology, chemistry, environmental science, and technology to help students understand how plants, soil, water, and environmental conditions affect agricultural outcomes. Whether students are learning in a high school agri...
When I teach forces, friction is one of those topics where I really want students working hands‑on and looking closely at data. This fall, I used the Static and Kinetic Friction experiment from Physics with Vernier, and I added a variati...
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...
Every day, my students cross 112th Street outside our high school—a busy, four-lane corridor with a 40 mph speed limit that often feels more like 50. When I asked my class how they feel when they walk home or cross that road, most of them had...
Halloween is the perfect opportunity to make science a little more engaging—and a lot more memorable. With just a touch of creative framing, you can add a spooky, seasonal twist to these Vernier experiments across chemistry, biology, or physi...
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...
