Video - Real Time Data-Driven Chemistry

What You’ll Learn

In this one-hour session, PocketLab co-founder Dr. Clifton Roozeboom shares how to:

• Help students collect and visualize their own data in real-time

• Make lab days smoother and more engaging

• Reduce prep time and equipment headaches

• Connect complex concepts to tangible measurements

• Streamline chemistry labs with one multi-function tool

Here’s how PocketLab removes barriers to engaged STEM learning:

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

PocketLab aims to inspire, educate and reinvigorate educator’s love of teaching STEM through their Science is Cool (ScIC) community: FREE PD events, virtual field trips, engaging podcasts and more.
