Designed for much higher forces than the Dual-Range Force Sensor, the Force Plate can measure the forces developed during stepping, jumping, and other human-scale actions. For example, you can perform the following kinds of experiments:

• Observe the change in normal force during a ride in a lift.
• Measure the impulse delivered by the floor during a jump.
• Measure the reaction force as a student leans against a wall.

Use the Ammonium ISE to measure levels of ammonium ions introduced from fertilizers. It can also indicate aqueous ammonia levels if sample solutions are acidified to convert NH3 to NH4+. The Ammonium ISE has a combination-style, non-refillable, gel-filled electrode. Like all other PVC ISE membranes, the membrane on the ISE has a limited life expectancy. However, the replaceable module of ISE allows you to simply discard the used membrane module, and replace it with a new one. Note: We recommend that you do not purchase ISE replacement modules too far in advance of their expected time of use as degradation occurs while they are stored on the shelf.

The Vernier Go Wireless Heart Rate is ideal for continuously monitoring heart rate before, during, and after exercise or while a person is stationary. Data are wirelessly transmitted to iPad, LabQuest 2, or other mobile devices that are Bluetooth® Smart Ready. It is simple and easy to use, displays live heart rate readouts before data collection, and is easy to clean and share between students.

The Conductivity Probe determines the ionic content of an aqueous solution by measuring its conductivity. This has many applications in chemistry, biology, and environmental science. The Conductivity Probe has three ranges, providing optimal precision in any given range. Biology teachers can use this probe to demonstrate diffusion of ions through membranes. Chemistry students are able to quickly investigate the difference between ionic and molecular compounds, strong and weak acids, or ionic compounds that yield different ratios of ions. Environmental science students use it to measure TDS, total dissolved solids.  

The EKG Sensor measures electrical signals produced during muscle contractions, and can be used to make standard 3-lead EKG tracings or surface EMG recordings. The EKG Sensor measures electrical signals produced by the heart. It uses three disposable electrodes. An EKG graph is displayed, demonstrating to students the contraction and repolarization of the heart's chambers. A package of 100 disposable electrodes is included with the sensor.

The Barometer can be used to measure and monitor atmospheric pressure. It works well for conducting weather studies or experiments that involve pressures close to normal atmospheric pressure. It can also be used as an altimeter if you have a portable interface.

Use the Dual-Range Force Sensor in a wide variety of experiments including the study of friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions, or centripetal force. The Dual-Range Force Sensor has two ranges: ±10N or ±50N. It can be easily mounted on a Vernier Dynamics Cart for use with the Vernier Dynamics System. Mount one on the New Centripetal Force Apparatus, on a ring stand or even as a replacement for a hand-held spring scale. Use it to study friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions, or centripetal force.
