Upcoming Webinars
Reaction Transformation: Teaching Kinetics with Food Coloring and Bleach
April 6, 2023
2:00–2:45 p.m. PDT | 5:00–5:45 p.m. EDT
No aqueous crystal violet? No problem! Prepare your students for their chemistry exams with science they can see!
Join Vernier chemistry expert Nüsret Hisim as he shows you how to use two common household items, food coloring and bleach, to explore the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Walk away with strategies for teaching this important scientific concept, including using calculated columns to determine the order of reaction and the rate expression.
Student-Led Explorations Into Respiration Rate and Spirometry
April 12, 2023
3:30–4:30 p.m. PDT | 6:30–7:30 p.m. EDT
Bring a breath of fresh air into your biology instruction with these exciting spirometry and respiration rate experiments! Join our director of biology, John Melville, as he demonstrates how your students can use the Go Direct® Respiration Belt and Go Direct Spirometer to measure tidal volume and observe changes in respiration rate. You will also learn how to record videos with data and how to share data through our Vernier Graphical Analysis® Pro app.
Peak Potential: Affordable Solutions for Instructing Electrochemical Techniques
April 26, 2023
2:00–2:45 p.m. PDT | 5:00–5:45 p.m. EDT
College educators, here’s your invitation to explore the Go Direct® Cyclic Voltammetry System with Vernier and Pine Research! Even advanced students can struggle with electrochemistry, but with this affordable cyclic voltammetry system, students can easily control and apply potential to a chemical system and measure the response as a current.

Two Simple Ways of Breaking Down Cellular Respiration for Your Students
Due to its abstract nature, cellular respiration can be a challenging topic for many learners. Give your students the opportunity to make real-world connections with two cellular respiration experiments! Our director of biology, John Melville, shares two simple strategies for teaching cellular respiration using hands-on experiments that you can easily implement in your class. In our first experiment, you will find out how to monitor the carbon dioxide and oxygen produced by germinating and non-germinating peas using our Go Direct® CO2 Gas Sensor and Go Direct O2 Gas Sensor. Next, you’ll learn how to demonstrate cellular respiration using yeast, a beaker of water, and our Go Direct Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe.
Capacitors, Sound Waves, and Beats: Lessons to Energize Your Classroom
Recharge Your Lesson Plan! Moving Beyond the Lemon Battery to Teach Electrochemistry
Chemistry expert Nüsret Hisim explores electrochemistry through a voltaic cell experiment. In this video, you’ll learn how to use simple materials, including string, metal wire, and salt solutions, to create half-cells. The experiment will help students understand the structure of a voltaic cell, electrolytes, and salt bridges.
The Skin You’re In:
Using Vernier Sensors to Teach Human Physiology
Help your students get to know the skin they’re in with our human physiology sensors! Whether they are aspiring health professionals or budding biomedical engineers, your students will gain a deeper understanding of human physiology through hands-on biology learning. Join our director of biology, John Melville, as he demonstrates a variety of easy-to-use sensors, including our Go Direct® Hand Dynamometer and Go Direct EKG Sensor, all using our Vernier Graphical Analysis® Pro app.
