As described by on the IB website, among the IB Physics standards are several prescribed lab practicals. One or more of these lab practicals appear in questions in the Paper 3 external assessment. As such, it is important to plan around them. For mo...

The rod clamp fits ring-stand rods up to 1/2 inch or 12.7 mm in diameter. The rod clamp is included with all Vernier dynamics cart and track systems. Dynamics Cart and Track System (DTS) Dynamics Cart and Track System (DTS-LONG) Dynamics Cart an...

The Vernier Go Direct Sensor Carts (both green and yellow) are plunger carts that have encoder functionality built into the carts. The carts are sold individually but also come with the Dynamics Cart and Track System with Go Direct Sensor Carts. G...

The non-refundable fee for evaluating an out-of-warranty repair on an Ocean Insight (formerly Ocean Optics) spectrometer has increased dramatically. Vernier is no longer facilitating these returns. If you aren't sure whether your Ocean Insight spectr...

The useful life of Vernier oxygen gas sensors is dependent on how they are stored and how much oxygen they are exposed to over a given period of time. Storing the sensor correctly and reducing the exposure to oxygen will extend the sensor's life. To...

There are at least two possible causes for the force sensor to read a high constant value. It has been stressed beyond its capacity and the strain gauge has been physically damaged. The wiring has been damaged and has been short circuited, makin...

The short answer is yes. A little construction is required to create a platform to connect the Test Wall to the Vernier Structures and Materials Tester (VSMT). Once connected, the VSMT is capable of measuring forces up to 1000 N (~225 lbs). Users wi...
