Highlights:
This Labdisc bundle includes 8 Labdiscs with all the included accessories, plus a storing and charging tray so that you can always keep your Labdiscs organized and ready to go!
Labdiscs come with a full-feature set and built-in sensors for all the major sciences, and despite that, the wireless Labdisc Gensci is surprisingly light and compact. A 128k sample memory and 24k/sec sampling rate, plus 12-bit resolution, 150 hour charge-life and large graphical LCD allow students to parallel real scientific processes and connect core concepts with the real world.
The Gensci model of Labdisc portable lab opens the door to inquiry-based learning in general science fields. With STEM science lab, take the science classroom anywhere. Labdisc helps students connect and engage with science from wherever they are.
Built-in sensors include:
Air Pressure, Ambient Temperature, Current, Distance (Motion), External Temperature, GPS, Light, Microphone, pH, Relative Humidity, Sound, Universal Input, Voltage.
Typical activities include:
Traveling speed with GPS, Newton’s Laws, sound waves, electrical currents, pH titration, endothermic and exothermic reactions, Boyle’s Law, specific heat and microclimate.
Included with Every Labdisc:
- Starter Plan license to K-12 integrated STEM curriculum with lessons for implementation into schools
- Automatic sensor calibration for zero set-up time
- Bluetooth capability
- Multi-platform Globilab software
- 2-hour online training
Curriculum or Lesson Topics:
Labdiscs are your all-in-one science lab that you can utilize to run a wide range of experiments for K-12 science courses or afterschool programs. Lessons provided include topics ranging from human body systems to ecology and Earth science and circuits to speed. Lessons range from “Understanding Temperature” in Kindergarten to “Ohm’s Law” in High School and everything in between. Many lessons also address math standards, including measurement, statistics, and data.
Standard Alignments:
Everything is driven by NGSS and Common Core Standards. Additional state standards have been aligned for Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio.
