Learn how to calibrate the Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor on four of PASCO's data collection platforms:

• SPARKvue 2
• PASCO Capstone
• SPARK Science Learning System
• Xplorer GLX

PASCO's new MatchGraph app engages students in real-time graph interpretation as they move in front of a Motion Sensor to match their movement to provided position and velocity profiles.

MatchGraph is available in kits with hardware, or the software alone is available for Windows and Mac computers and for the iPad.

Learn how the new PASCO Spectrometer and Spectroscopy software is used to

• analyze emission spectra from light sources, such as gas discharge tubes, using the fiber optic accessory
• view the absorbance spectra for colored solutions and select a wavelength for further study
• investigate fluorescence

Quick look at the features of PASCO's new Materials Testing System (ME-8230) for engineering education.

After a quick overview of the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) Probe, see how it can be used to perform a redox titration of vitamin C with iodine. See the Advanced Chemistry through Inquiry lab manual for complete instructions.

Students feel and see the effect of atmospheric pressure in this engaging demonstration with the PASPORT Dual Pressure Sensor.

Investigate net primary productivity (NPP), respiration, and photosynthesis using the PASPORT Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor in this classic lab activity. Setup has never been easier thanks to PASCO's patented primary productivity bottles and new optical sensor technology.

Overview of PASCO scientific's Materials Testing System (ME-8230). Our integrated system for tensile testing measures both force and position and includes coupons, USB Link, and PASCO Capstone software.
