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.

Advanced Chemistry with Vernier Book

Investigate 35 advanced chemistry topics, including mole ratios, enthalpy, buffers, concentrations, vapor pressure, radiation shielding, electroplating, chromatography, and more.

Chemistry with Computers Book

Conduct over 30 experiments in thermochemistry, gas laws, acid-base reactions, equilibrium, electrochemistry, electrolytes, states of matter, and more.

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.

Beer's Law

Determine the concentration of an unknown copper sulfate solution.

Buffers

Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to prepare and test two acidic buffer solutions, then determine the capacity of the prepared buffers.

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.

Conductimetric Titration and Gravimetric Determination of a Precipitate

Measure the equivalence point of a sulfuric acid/barium hydroxide reaction using conductivity values and precipitate mass.

Determining the Mole Ratios in a Chemical Reaction

Determine the stoichiometry of an oxidation-reduction reaction in which the reactants are known but the products are unknown.

Evaporation and Intermolecular Attractions

Investigate temperature changes caused by the evaporation of several liquids, and relate the temperature changes to the strength of the intermolecular forces of attraction.
