1 Lego Story Starter kits - these kits can be used with language arts/ science. The students build a scene using Lego mini figures and pieces. They can build what you are you are learning in science, illustrate part of a story, or use it as a starting point for writing. Endless ideas Lego WeDo 2.0 kits - these kits work on basic computer programming. The students build (with the help of their chrome book because instructions are there) and then program some simple robots. I really like the website with this because it makes differentiation easy. goo.gl/8dxjzw Lego Simple Machines Kits - These kits allow students to build and operate simple machines. Comes with instructions books to build the different machines. Lego Mindstorm Robots - these are programmable robots. Classroom applications include teaching computer programming as well as math standards (distance, angles, rotations, etc.) e-school/intro

2 Snap Circuit Standard kits - These kits help students understand and build simple circuits. It comes with instruction books for different projects. Snap Circuits Green kit - uses solar energy to power the circuits Snap Circuits Rover - build a moving vehicle with snap circuits K'Nex sets - Basic building sets for students to create. We have instruction books for them to follow or they can build on their own. Little Bits - Simple Circuits to put together - no computer required.

3 Rock Identification and Rock Hardness Sets Class set Plant Cell Model (7 models available each with removable parts) Animal Cell Model (7 models available each with removable parts) Microscopes with Cell Structure slides and Animal Mitosis slides (exact model not shown) Tech Light Lab - Light and optic science experiments uploads/2013/01/tll-001-booklet.pdf 3D Molecular Designs Water kit - This kits helps you teach your students water concepts. ucation-products/water-kit.htm

4 Arduino Uno RV3 kits - Students are introduced into the foundations of programming electronics through this tool. They can create their own or model ones already created. tion Makey Makey - Allows students/anyone;) to turn ordinary objects into a touchpad. It is a simple invention kit with many possibilities. Mini-Launcher kits - PASCO S Mini Launcher provides a way for all students to investigate projectile motion. E/ME-6825_mini-launcher/ Genecon Hand-Operated Generator - Low voltage power source that lets you create electrical current by simply turning a crank.

7 Polydron and Frameworks (build shapes 2D and 3D - works on following directions and visualizing also) ces.html Conic Section Model TI-Nspire calculators (Class Set) Vernier Materials BioChamber ml Nalgene bottle that can be used with a CO 2 Gas Sensor and an O 2 Gas Sensor to monitor gaseous carbon dioxide and oxygen levels simultaneously in a closed system Blood Pressure Sensor - non-invasive sensor designed to measure blood pressure. Measures systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure as well as pulse rate.

8 CO2 Gas Sensor - measures gaseous carbon dioxide in two ranges - 0 to 10,000 ppm and 0 to 100,000 ppm Colorimeter - great for Beer s law experiments, determining the concentration of unknown solutions, or studying the changes in concentration vs. time. ProScope HR - USB handheld digital microscope designed for use with your computer. It has a high-quality CMOS sensor and universal lens mount. Differential Voltage Probe - The probes are designed for exploring the basic principles of electricity. The probe measures voltages in low voltage AC and DC circuits. Dual Range Force Sensor - Students will be able to study friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions or centripetal force with these sensors. Dynamics Track - The track is made of aluminum and includes a metric scale. Extremely rigid, this 1.2 meter track will not sag under use. For use the Dynamics Carts.

9 Dynamics Cart - The low-friction carts are designed to study motion and collisions on the Vernier Dynamics Track. Wireless Dynamic Sensor System - This system combines a 3-axis accelerometer, and altimeter, and a force sensor into one unit that communicates wirelessly with your computer or LabQuest2. EasyLink - Single-channel interface that plugs into the USB port of a TI-84 Plus graphing Calculator or TI-Nspire Handheld. EasyLink support any one of over 45 Vernier sensors. Go!Link USB sensor - This is a single-channel interface that connects many Vernier sensors to your computer or Chromebook USB port. GPS Sensor - Allows your students to easily create maps of their data. Collects real time altitude, longitude and latitude data when connected to an original LabQuest or computer/chrome book. Hand Dynamometer - used to measure grip strength, pinch strength, and to perform muscle fatigue studies. Use the hand dynamometer with other sensors (e.g., EKG Sensor ) to study muscular health and activity.

10 Hand-Grip Heart Rate Monitor - used to monitor heart rate before, during, after exercising or while sitting still. Data is then transmitted to LabQuest or other connected device. LabQuest 2 - standalone interface used to collect sensor data with its built-in graphing and analysis application. The touch screen makes it easy to collect, analyze, and share data from experiments. LabQuest 2 Charge Station - easily charge the LabQuest 2 so they are ready for use in the classroom. Light Sensor - Approximates the eye in spectral response. Use it for inverse square law experiments or for studying polarizers, reflectivity, or solar energy. Low-g Accelerometer - Used to study acceleration in experiments such as Newton s 2nd law, simple harmonic motion and the relationship between acceleration and force. Also can be used to study one-dimensional motion of a car, elevator, pendulum bob or amusement park ride. Microphone - Display and study the waveforms of sounds from voices and musical instruments. Also works well for speed of sound experiments.

11 Motion Detector - Measures position, acceleration and velocity of moving objects. O2 Gas Sensor - Used to monitor gaseous oxygen levels in biology and chemistry experiments. Intended for gaseous, not aqueous, O2 concentration. ph Sensor - Use the same as a traditional ph meter with automated data collection, graphing, and data analysis. Photogate - Allows for extremely accurate timing of events within physics experiments, for studying free fall, air track collisions, pendulum periods, the speed of a rolling object, among other things. No image available Photogate Slides Surface Temperature Sensor - Designed for use in situations where low thermal mass or flexibility is required or for a skin temperature measurement.

12 Stainless Steel Temperature Probe - Can be used in organic liquids, salt solutions, acids and basis. Use it as you would a traditional thermometer in experiments.
