Vernier Connections™ is a web-based platform that extends your curriculum with engaging and relevant projects and investigations that support real-world science exploration using Vernier probeware—a proven method to deepen student understanding of STEM concepts both in and out of the classroom.
As we recover from the learning disruption caused by COVID-19, STEM educators are facing unique challenges in the academic recovery of their students. As a leader in STEM education, Vernier is committed to helping you regain those connections to your students. Today’s moment gives us the opportunity to prepare our students for a changing and adapting world where they increasingly encounter science and technology.
Like mission control for a space station, our Vernier Connections platform provides educators with a STEM education command center to help create and extend connections to students. Educators can implement and create meaningful content that aligns with state science standards and the Next Generations Science Standards (NGSS) while delivering engaging, innovative, and futuristic STEM learning modules.
Educators have the flexibility to customize interactive multimedia content to their specific context to reach all students and prepare them for life after graduation. Vernier Connections integrates real-world data collection and analysis. It also fosters collaboration, problem-solving, and the development of critical-thinking skills to deepen student understanding.
Vernier Connections investigations and projects cover STEM 9–12 curricula and support hands-on, real-world exploration using Vernier probeware—a proven method to deepen student understanding of STEM concepts both in and out of the classroom. Our Tech Support experts can support you to ensure alignment to your district’s scope and sequence, whether students are learning in the classroom or in an asynchronous setting.
With Vernier Connections, you get the flexibility to customize interactive multimedia content to your specific classroom context. This easy-to-use platform also empowers you to lead the student learning process and instill a love of learning in each of your students.
