STEM with Vernier® and LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Lab Book
14 ready-to-use lab activities and 4 design-and-build robotics projects using Vernier NXT Sensor Adapter, Vernier Sensors, and LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT.
Monitor Heart Rate with LED
Visually track the status of your heart rate with LEDs wired in an open-drain circuit.
Building a Virtual Thermometer with SensorDAQ
This is a good introductory activity to learn the basics of LabVIEW programming with step-by-step programming instructions. Collect and display temperature data in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.
EMG and Muscle Strength
Correlate hand grip strength with the electrical activity of a muscle after receiving visual stimulus.
Build a Temperature Sensor
Build your own temperature sensor with a voltage divider circuit, and calibrate your data with an off-the-shelf sensor. This activity shows you how to create your own LabVIEW subVI.
Analyzing Sound
Work with LabVIEW's Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and a Vernier Microphone to analyze the frequency patterns of a touchstone phone and human vowel sounds.
NXT Ice Skater
Our ice skater simulates the change in rotational speed when ice skaters extend or tuck in their arms.
