Keep students engaged in science with our remote learning solutions.
Schools everywhere are experiencing extended closures and disruptions due to COVID‑19, and some districts have already decided to make online learning a crucial part of the next school year. We know that teachers are scrambling to find remote learning solutions that will inspire their students and increase engagement while classes meet remotely.
For those in need of additional help, the CARES Act provides funding for schools to help ease the burden. Navigating the CARES Act can be daunting; we found this resource helpful.
Below, explore available resources including free training webinars, free coding activities for Scratch, and our free experiments with sample data.
This free webinar will help you get started using our remote learning resources. Vernier STEM training Director, David Carter, shows you how to use these resources to help keep students engaged in science, even from a distance.
Free
To help ensure students continue to sharpen their critical-thinking skills and learn key scientific concepts during this precarious time, Vernier has put together over 300 free experiments with sample data files covering many subjects that you can distribute to your students at home. Though students won’t be performing the experiments themselves, they can perform their own analysis of the sample data and answer questions based on their results.
Free
Students love to code. To help support them, we’ve gathered a group of free, engaging Scratch-based coding activities that can be done at home. Each activity includes step-by-step instructions for students and educators.
