The CO2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide levels in two selectable ranges of 0 to 10,000 ppm and 0 to 100,000 ppm (which covers human breath). Ideal for measuring changes in Carbon Dioxide levels during plant photosynthesis and respiration. You can easily monitor changes in CO2 levels occurring in respiration of organisms as small as crickets or beans! The CO2 Gas Sensor is easily calibrated using a calibration button. A chamber is included for running controlled experiments with small plants and animals. You may also wish to see our O2 Gas Sensor

The Colorimeter is great for Beer's law experiments, determining the concentration of unknown solutions, or studying changes in concentration vs. time. This 4-wavelength Colorimeter measures the amount of light transmitted through a sample at a user-selectable wavelength in order to determine the concentration of a solution. Features such as automatic sensor identification and one-step calibration make this sensor easy to use. Fifteen 3.5 mL cuvettes are included. A package of 100 replacement cuvettes (with 20 lids) is available please click here

The Constant Current System is a DC power source with a built-in current probe designed for use in electrochemistry experiments, and as such eliminates the need for a separate power supply when performing electroplating and electrolysis experiments in Chemistry. It is capable of delivering 0.6 A at 5VDC Use the Constant Current System to explore Faraday's law and determine Avogadro's Number. Note: It can only be used in conjunction with its own built-in power supply. It cannot be used to measure the current of a circuit using a different power supply.

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 Anemometer can be used in a variety of experiments to measure wind speed. Can either be used hand held to measure wind speeds, or used with the accessory rod for static experiments such as in front of wind tunnels. The Vernier Anemometer is an impeller-type anemometer that measures wind speed in the range of 0.5 to 30 m/s (1 to 67 mph).

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 Gas Pressure Sensor can be used to monitor pressure changes in a gas. The range is wide enough to perform Boyle's law yet it is sensitive enough to conduct vapor-pressure or pressure-temperature experiments. Biology teachers can use the Gas Pressure Sensor to monitor transpiration or respiration in an enclosed environment.

- Measure the impulse delivered by the floor during a jump.
- Measure the reaction force as a student leans against a wall.
The Vernier Energy Sensor offers an easy way to quantify voltage, current, power, and energy output of small wind turbines and solar panels such as those used in our KidWind Experiment Kits. Simply connect a source such as a small wind turbine or solar panel to one side and a load such as the Variable Load or a resistor on the Vernier Resistor Board to the other side. The Energy Sensor measures the current and voltage of the system. Data-collection and analysis software, such as Logger Pro or LabQuest App can then calculate the power and energy output.

Use the Drop Counter to perform accurate, automatic titrations. Record the number of drops or calibrate the drop size to record volume of titrant added during a titration. Logger Pro software can automatically convert the number of drops into volume. The Drop Counter can be used for conductimetric or potentiometric titrations using our Conductivity Probe, Ion-Selective Electrodes or any electrode with a 0 to 5 volt output.
