Looking to deepen your students’ understanding of natural phenomena through meaningful interaction with data? Try our Graphical Analysis Pro app free for 30 days. Contact us today for a trial-activation code. Limit one trial per customer.
LabQuest 3 is a standalone data-collection platform that students can use to collect, analyze, and interact with data efficiently.
The Go Direct Gas Pressure Sensor measures the absolute pressure of a gas.
The Go Direct CO2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide concentration levels, air temperature, and relative humidity.
The Go Direct O2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous oxygen concentration levels and air temperature.
The Go Direct SpectroVis Plus Spectrophotometer can easily collect a full wavelength spectrum (absorbance, percent transmittance, or intensity) in less than one second. Once the peak wavelength is determined, you can establish the concentration of a solution (Beer’s law) or monitor rates of reactions.
The Go Direct Surface Temperature Sensor is designed for use in situations in which low thermal mass or flexibility is required. This sensor has an exposed thermistor that results in an extremely rapid response time, making it perfect for use in air and water.
The Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor combines a 3‑axis accelerometer with a force sensor for measuring pushes or pulls wherever you need to collect data.
The Soil Moisture Sensor uses capacitance to measure the water content of soil (by measuring the dielectric permittivity of the soil, which is a function of the water content). Simply insert this rugged sensor into the soil to be tested, and the volumetric water content of the soil is reported in percent.
The Go Direct pH Sensor is a general-purpose pH sensor used to monitor pH of aqueous solutions and is perfect for lab and field experiments.
Use the Go Direct Tris-Compatible Flat pH Sensor to measure the pH of a solution or semisolid, such as food or soil.
The Reflex Hammer Accessory Kit converts your Vernier force sensor into a reflex hammer.
The Go Direct Hand Dynamometer can be used to wirelessly measure grip and pinch strength and to perform muscle fatigue studies.
The Go Direct EKG Sensor records electrical signals produced during heart or muscle contractions.
The Go Direct Weather System includes an affordable, wireless, handheld sensor used to measure ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind chill, dew point, barometric pressure, and more.
The Go Direct Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe makes it easy to measure dissolved oxygen concentration, water temperature, and atmospheric pressure.
