Roland Stout, Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, challenged his environmental chemistry class to find an interesting and environmentally significant carbon dioxide source or sink and to verify their fin...
Steve Cogger, instructor at Doherty Middle School, Andover, MA, has his students design and test wind turbines. The goal of the project is to optimize the design of turbine blades to generate the highest output power. Using NI LabVIEW software with ...
If your school owns MEL-TEMP units, this is for you. Our Wide-Range Temperature Probe fits perfectly into the thermometer slot of a MEL-TEMP unit. This is a great option, especially if your school is no longer using mercury thermometers. The Wide-Ra...
Professor Richard G. Born, from Northern Illinois University, devised an experiment to study hysteresis, the delay of time between a force being placed upon a system and the exhibited reaction. Born placed a 7 inch rubber band on a Vernier Dual-Range...
To help his physics students understand the concept of electromagnetic (EM) induction, Brian Lamore, physics teacher at The Chinquapin School in Highlands, TX, devised an experiment involving strong neodymium (Nd) magnets, #28 magnet wire, and the V...
There is a very interesting article on "Bridge Swinging and the Maximum Tension in a Pendulum String" by Edward P. Wyrembeck (Howards Grove HS, WI) posted on our Vernier Idea Board. In this article, Edward and his students explain how they measure t...
Judy Day (The Science House, Raleigh, NC) has students and workshop participants use our new Surface Temperature Sensor to examine the increase of muscle temperature as a team member lifts a 2-3 lb (1 kg) weight. The Surface Temperature Sensor is de...
