Biomedical Investigations: EKG and Blood Pressure Analysis with Vernier
Tuesday, March 4
4:00–4:45 p.m. PST | 7:00–7:45 p.m. EST
Help your students explore the science of vital signs and body systems through hands-on investigations! Whether you’re teaching biology, biomedical science, or human physiology, you’ll discover strategies to easily integrate real-time data collection into your classroom. Vernier biology experts Sara Tallarovic, PhD, and John Melville, PhD will demonstrate how to use the Go Direct® EKG, Go Direct Blood Pressure Sensor, and Go Direct Hand Dynamometer to give students practical experience collecting and analyzing key health metrics, such as heart activity, blood pressure changes, and muscle function.
Recent Webinars
Simple Harmonic Motion: From Springs to Pendulums
Help your students better visualize and understand oscillating systems with hands-on data collection. Vernier physics experts Fran Poodry and Tom Smith demonstrate how to use the Go Direct® Motion Detector and Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor to build a solid foundation in simple harmonic motion concepts.
Crime Scene Chemistry:Teaching Reaction Kinetics with a Forensic Twist
Reaction kinetics is a fundamental chemistry concept that can be challenging for many students. This forensics-themed investigation offers an engaging, sustainable approach to teaching reaction rates. Students gain hands-on experience determining reaction order and rate laws while solving a fictional crime scene scenario. From general high school chemistry through AP Chemistry and introductory college courses, this investigation demonstrates—and tests—concepts like reaction order, rate constants, and half-life calculations. Vernier chemistry specialist Nüs Hisim demonstrates how to use sensors you may already have in your lab to help students connect mathematical analysis to real-world applications.
Plan Ahead: Your Guide to Moving Beyond Logger Pro
How can physics principles help us better understand biological phenomena? Here’s a sound idea you can try with students, from high school physics through advanced biology classes. This cross-disciplinary investigation engages students through the analysis of biological sound patterns, from whale songs to elk calls, and gives them hands-on experience analyzing complex waveforms using FFT analysis. This investigation demonstrates—and tests—key concepts like wave properties, frequency analysis, and sound pattern recognition.You will
Animal Acoustics: Analyzing Sound Waves in Physics and Biology
Learn what to expect as Logger Pro software formally retires and find out more about how to transition to our easy-to-use suite of analysis apps in this webinar recording! We cover key functionality from Logger Pro that you can find in Vernier Graphical Analysis, Vernier Video Analysis, Vernier Spectral Analysis, and Vernier Instrumental Analysis, and using your current Vernier equipment with the apps. Get all the resources and tools you need to feel confident about making the switch.Â
Testing the Limits: Building Engineering Skills Through Bridge Competitions
Bridge building is an engaging way to promote project-based learning. Students can gain an understanding of how forces act in a truss and experience the engineering design cycle as they identify weaknesses and modify their bridge design to improve performance. From middle school through high school, and even into college, bridge building competitions are a great way to demonstrate—and test—complex engineering concepts, like measuring applied load and deflection or determining the modulus of elasticity. Vernier engineering specialist Tom Smith goes over the technology that educators, and bridge building competition organizers, trust to help future engineers learn to build better bridges.
