4:00–5:00 p.m. PDT | 7:00–8:00 p.m. EDT
Join chemistry educator Larry Dukerich and Vernier chemistry specialist Nüs Hisim as they demonstrate how the Go Direct Conductivity Probe helps students understand polyatomic ion dissolution through hands-on investigation. |
Starting the year with Vernier Graphical Analysis® in your classroom or lab? Get to know helpful features you might not be using yet and demonstrate how Pro features can support deeper analysis. Vernier experts Verle Walters and Nüsret Hisim walk through analysis tools—like graph matching, manual curve fitting, and interpolation—and share examples of how to use them across different science courses. You’ll leave with practical tips to help students explore and interpret data more effectively.
Kick off the school year with a hands-on experiment that brings real-world relevance to core chemistry concepts. Vernier chemistry experts Dr. Melissa Hill and Nüs Hisim demonstrate a green chemistry investigation that uses the Go Direct® SpectroVis® Plus to analyze food dye concentrations in popular sports drinks. This student-led experiment introduces spectroscopy as a tool for exploring molecular structure and function—and connects absorbance, transmittance, and concentration through Beer’s law in a food chemistry context.
Ready to master fundamental carbon cycle experiments at the start of your school year? Vernier biology experts Colleen McDaniel and Sara Tallarovic, PhD, explore three engaging experiments that help students visualize photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the carbon cycle. These 3D-aligned investigations are a great fit for high school biology and agricultural science courses and support key concepts about matter, energy, and ecosystem cycles throughout the year.
Jump into fall learning with hands-on force analysis! Vernier experts Tom Smith and John Melville, PhD, introduce the Go Direct® 2-Axis Force Plate—a tool that combines the Go Direct Force Plate and our new Lateral Force Accessory to measure human-scale forces in 2D, including friction, stepping, and jumping. See how one sensor can enhance multiple curricula, from mechanics to physiology and sports science investigations.
Ready to discover how smart equipment choices can stretch your science budget further? Vernier Trendsetter and high school teacher Nick Watkins, along with Vernier tech support expert Josh Ence, share practical strategies for building impactful science programs that maximize every education dollar. This session is especially helpful for educators in Title I schools and districts working to expand access to meaningful STEM learning while making the most of available resources.
Found Vernier sensors in your classroom closet or inherited equipment from another teacher? Figure out what you have and how to use it—whether you’re working with legacy LabQuest® sensors or newer Go Direct® technology.
Simple Sensor Experiments to Start the School Year |
Looking for simple ways to kick off the year with hands-on science learning? Vernier chemistry expert Nüs Hisim and high school science teacher and Vernier Trendsetter, Cassie Whitecotton, demonstrate easy, engaging warm-up experiments that will help students explore fundamental science concepts like Boyle’s law, linear motion, constant acceleration, and enzyme activity. Get resources to help you build your students’ confidence with foundational science investigations—perfect for any grade level.
