Upcoming Webinars

Voltage, Current, and Resistance: Simple Circuits with Go Direct® Sensors

Wednesday, December 4
4:00–4:45 p.m. PST | 7:00–7:45 p.m. EST

Kickstart your electricity unit with hands-on circuit investigations! Join Vernier physics expert Josh Ence as he demonstrates how to use Vernier technology to investigate key electrical concepts like Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, and the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance. This webinar will help you guide students through data-driven investigations that deepen their understanding of circuit fundamentals. Whether you’re teaching high school physics or introductory college courses, these demonstrations will enhance your lessons and prepare you for teaching circuit concepts at the start of your next term.

Recent Webinars

Working with Wavelengths: Spectroscopy for Biologists

Not sure how spectroscopy fits into your high school or college biology curriculum? Vernier biology expert and former college educator John Melville, PhD explores effective ways you can use spectrometers in your biology courses. He covers absorbance, emission, and fluorescence spectroscopy with a focus on biology applications. Learn how spectroscopy can help students understand complex biological concepts such as protein structure, enzyme kinetics, and biomolecule separation. 

Knee-Jerk Reaction: Exploring Neuromuscular Reflexes

Interested in gaining new strategies to help your students flex their knowledge of the human nervous system? Vernier biology expert and former educator John Melville, PhD, demonstrates a hands-on neuromuscular reflex investigation that can help you bridge the gap between theory and real-world observations. By measuring patellar reflex response time and muscle electrical activity, students can more easily visualize and analyze the rapid communication between the nervous and muscular systems.

A Mole Lot of Fun: Chemistry Investigations from Avogadro’s Number to Electrodes

Get ready for National Chemistry Week with Mole Day experiments! In this webinar, Vernier STEM experts Nüsret Hisim and Verle Walters will guide you through two key electrochemistry experiments that connect the mole concept to observable real-world phenomena and follow the principles of green chemistry. You’ll discover how to use Vernier tools to help your students visualize abstract ideas like Avogadro’s number and electron transfer, making these concepts more perceptible and relevant.

Two Ways to Explore Newton’s Second Law with the Go Direct Motion Detector

Vernier physics experts Josh Ence and Fran Poodry demonstrate how to use the Go Direct® Motion Detector to teach Newton’s second law and help students investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. In this video, they explore two methods for investigating Newton’s second law: (1) using a cart and fan system and (2) using a modified Atwood setup. 

The Heat Is On: Exploring Earth's Energy Balance with Vernier Sensors

Have your students ever wondered why artificial turf fields feel hotter than natural grass on a sunny day? In this video, Vernier Earth science expert Colleen McDaniel demonstrates a hands-on workshop exploring how to use Vernier sensors to investigate the relationship between the reflectivity of various colors and temperature changes due to energy absorption. By incorporating this activity into your Earth or environmental science curriculum, you’ll help your students better understand climate and energy balance, as well as the relevance of this phenomenon in their everyday lives, from choosing what color shirt to wear on a sunny day to understanding the wider impact of melting ice caps.

Back to School with Hands-On STEM Learning: Connecting Vernier Go Direct® Sensors and TI-Nspire™ CX II Graphing Calculators

Tuesday, September 24
5:00–6:00 p.m. PDT | 8:00–9:00 p.m. EDT

Join educator and T³™ Instructor Stacy Thibodeaux and Vernier co-founder Dave Vernier as they demonstrate the latest hands-on data collection solutions for your grades 6-12 classroom or college lab using Vernier Go Direct sensors and the TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculator.

Analyzing Motion from All Angles: An Intro to Vernier Video Analysis

Vernier Scientist John Gastineau explores Vernier Video Analysis®, our popular app that helps students investigate complex physics concepts using videos of real-world motion. From analyzing the momentum of colliding carts to tracking a basketball in flight, discover how Vernier Video Analysis gives students the opportunity to measure more dynamic and larger scale motion than can be captured by a sensor.
