Upcoming Webinars
Wave Physics Fundamentals: Teaching Sound, Motion, and the Doppler Effect
Tuesday, April 15
4:00–4:45 p.m. PDT | 7:00–7:45 p.m. EDT
Looking to strengthen your students’ understanding of mechanical waves and sound? Join Vernier co-founder and former physics educator Dave Vernier and physics expert Josh Ence as they guide you through three engaging wave experiments: standing waves on a string, sound wave interference and beats, and visualization of the Doppler effect. Through hands-on demonstrations, they’ll show you how to help students move from basic observations to a more complex understanding of wave phenomena.
A Perfect Brew: Teaching Equilibrium with Tea and Vernier Sensors
Thursday, April 17
4:00–4:45 p.m. PDT | 7:00–7:45 p.m. EDT
Want to brew up some excitement about chemical equilibrium in your high school or college lab? Join Vernier Director of Chemistry Dr. Melissa Hill as she demonstrates how tea, some common kitchen ingredients, and hands-on Vernier sensors can help students better visualize and understand abstract equilibrium concepts. This food chemistry approach allows students to explore the color-changing properties of tea compounds at different pH, connecting visible transformations to equilibrium constants and molecular behavior.
From Local Data to Global Phenomena: Hands-On Climate Science Investigation
Monday, April 21
5:00–6:00 p.m. PDT | 8:00–9:00 p.m. EDT
Ready to engage your high school physics, biology, earth science, and environmental science students in meaningful climate investigations?  Join Vernier biology and physics experts Colleen McDaniel and Fran Poodry, along with Vernier Trendsetter and PLTW Master Teacher Jennifer Klecatsky, to explore hands-on investigations that connect students with real-world data. Whether your students are analyzing atmospheric data outside, testing water quality in a local watershed, or modeling global phenomena in the classroom, we’ll show you how real-time data collection can deepen their understanding of the world around them.
