Recharge Your Lesson Plan! Moving Beyond the Lemon Battery to Teach Electrochemistry
February 8, 2023
4:00–4:30 p.m. PST | 7:00–7:30 p.m. EST
Keep your electrochemistry lesson plans current and move beyond the lemon battery! Join Vernier chemistry expert Nüsret Hisim as he explores electrochemistry through a voltaic cell experiment. You’ll learn how to use simple materials, including string, metal wire, and salt solutions, to create half-cells with your students. This experiment will help students understand the structure of a voltaic cell, electrolytes, and salt bridges.
Capacitors, Sound Waves, and Beats: Lessons to Energize Your Classroom
February 9, 2023
4:00–4:45 p.m. PST | 7:00–7:45 p.m. EST
Electricity and sound units are on the horizon for the second half of the typical physics curriculum. Get a head start on your spring lessons with our latest webinar! Join physics expert Tom Smith to explore two of our popular experiments: “Capacitors” and “Sound Waves and Beats.” In addition, we’ll demonstrate how to use the Vernier Graphical Analysis® app to measure the potential across a resistor-capacitor circuit, explore the properties of sound waves, and more.
