Think Like an Engineer: Exploring the Design Process with KidWind
Discover how to guide your students through the engineering design process using the KidWind Advanced Wind Experiment Kit, and explore innovative ways to make physics and engineering more relatable and engaging for your students. In this webinar, physics and engineering expert Tom Smith covers how to use hands-on KidWind tools to investigate real-world blade design examples, evaluate variables, and refine solutions to optimize wind turbine power generation.
Titrating Towards Sustainability: A Green Chemistry Approach to Conductometric Analysis
Vernier chemistry experts, Dr. Melissa Hill and Nüsret Hisim demonstrate a practical conductometric titration experiment, showcasing how to incorporate the 12 principles of green chemistry into your curriculum. Discover how to use Vernier probes and software to investigate the titration of ammonia with vinegar, an eco-friendly alternative to traditional titrations. By using conductivity measurements instead of conventional pH indicators, this unique approach provides a fresh perspective on the titration process and promotes sustainable laboratory practices.
Culturing Change: Exploring Climate Science with Algae Experiments
Biology experts John Melville, PhD, and Sara Tallarovic, PhD, along with guest Matthew Huber, MS, Chief Scientist at Algae Research and Supply, use algae cultures in experiments that explore primary productivity. Learn how to use the Go Direct® Optical Dissolved Oxygen Probe with algae cultures to measure dissolved oxygen levels in water and determine the effect of light on the rate of photosynthesis. This video also covers how to connect these measurements to carbon fixation through pH levels and explore the ocean’s role in reducing levels of atmospheric carbon.
