PASCO’s new Wireless Temperature Sensor was put to the test by NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) Blog author Martin Horejsi.
He touched base on many aspects of the temperature sensor from; cost, battery life (and how easily it can be replaced), to ease of use and signal distance. Overall the results were great and you can check it out here.
You can find more details about the Wireless Temperature Sensor on our PASCO Wireless page.
It’s an exciting time for budding scientists.
Wireless technology makes it possible for teachers to take their lessons to the streets – allowing students to observe science as it happens.
Last October, a group of students from Riverview, New Brunswick used PASCO probeware to map and analyze water quality in the Fundy Biosphere Reserve – earning them an invitation to participate in the Chemistry World Youth Conference in Lima, Peru.
Portable technologies such as the PASPORT Airlink 2 that work with PASCO’s newest SparkVue HD app have helped teachers embrace the notion of “hands-on” learning.
Instructors have now implemented amusement park physics days. A handy 15-piece amusement park physics kit from PASCO consisting of springs, as well as scaled and horizontal accelerometers provides students with a front-row seat into the world of physics.
Young geologists can use soil moisture sensors to conduct experiments, right on their front lawn.
And would-be hydrologists can learn about local ecosystems with the help of a water quality sensor.
Now, more than ever, learning doesn’t have to be constricted to a lab.
We can’t wait to see all of the exciting experiments our friends and colleagues come up with this year!
