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. Discover resources to help you build your students’ confidence with foundational science investigations—perfect for any grade level.

You will learn how to

• Engage students in exploring core science concepts through ready-to-use experiments with 5 of our most-used sensors: the Go Direct® Temperature Probe, Go Direct Motion Detector, Go Direct O2 Gas Sensor, Go Direct Gas Pressure Sensor, and Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor
• Support students in developing data analysis and interpretation skills aligned with NGSS standards through scaffolded activities for students that progress from basic observations to meaningful analysis
• Make cross-curricular connections that help students see how scientific investigation applies across multiple subjects
• Apply practical classroom implementation tips from a high school teacher who uses Vernier sensors daily with students
