Whether students are fascinated by true crime podcasts, forensic television dramas, or simply enjoy solving a good mystery, forensic science offers a powerful way to connect chemistry concepts to real‑world investigations. During Vernier Science E...

Designed for use in situations in which low thermal mass or flexibility is required, the Go Direct® Surface Temperature Sensor has an exposed thermistor that results in an extremely rapid response time. Investigate the effect of temperature on...

Data taken during totality in Oregon We enjoyed the eclipse and were pleased that so many people sent us great data collected during the event. Leading up to the eclipse, we encouraged science teachers to experience the eclipse from the path o...

Physics Explorations and Projects is our new NGSS-aligned experiment manual for physics and can be used at all levels of introductory physics courses. The format is guided inquiry. You are provided with ideas for introductory observations designed...

A calibration equation is stored on each pH Sensor before it is shipped. For the most accurate measurements with this sensor, we recommend you perform your own 2-point calibration with buffer solutions. As the pH Sensor ages, the performance of the ...

Did you know that you really can’t calibrate a Vernier Drop Counter? Instead, you are actually calibrating the tip of the titrant reservoir. The Vernier Drop Counter is a modified photogate designed, through the software, to monitor drops of ...

Are you a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS)? I’ve been a member for 10 years and currently serve as the Secretary for the local Portland Section. ACS is a scientific society of chemistry professionals that includes students, educato...

In an effort to help you and your students better understand spectrometer absorbance readings, we’ve collected a few commonly asked questions: Why don’t absorbance readings have units? Absorbance readings are unitless because they are calculate...

Physics Meets Art in the General Education Core Marta L. Dark and Derrick J. Hylton; Journal of College Science Teaching, 2018, (47) 3. If you take the Physics and the Arts course at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, you will be exposed to many a...

Photosynthetic organisms such as plants and algae use electromagnetic radiation from the visible spectrum to drive the synthesis of sugar molecules. Special pigments in chloroplasts of plant cells absorb the energy of certain wavelengths of light, ...
