Video - Real Time Data-Driven Chemistry

From Bunsen Burners to Big Data: Transforming Chemistry with student lead data collection

Bring instant data collection to your chemistry labs! Attend as PocketLab co-founder Dr. Clifton Roozeboom demonstrates how to streamline your lab setup and capture real-time measurements. You’ll discover practical ways to:

Simplify complex chemistry concepts through live data
Reduce setup time and equipment needs
Help students visualize and analyze results instantly

This free 1-hour webinar shows you how to make lab days smoother and more productive. See how one simple device can collect pH, conductivity, temperature, and more—all while keeping students engaged with their own data.

Modern Probeware

Easy to use multi-function sensors for the STEM classroom. Spend less class time prepping and more time teaching, learning, collecting, and applying.

NOTEBOOK

Curriculum and Lab Support

The Notebook web app offers more than intuitive sensor data collection. Here you’ll find thousands of interactive, free and premium standards-aligned lessons, labs, and knowledge-checks created in partnership with popular curriculum and content creators teachers trust.

Community
