Highlights:

From outdoor field studies to classroom experiments, the Physio Labdisc gives students the freedom to explore science wherever curiosity leads. Its all-in-one design eliminates the need for multiple tools or complex setups, so teachers can focus on guiding inquiry instead of managing equipment. With cross-curricular applications, Labdisc helps students connect concepts through real-world data collection and analysis. The Physio Labdisc has been optimized for physical science and physics classrooms by providing a collection of sensors ideal for those courses. 

Built-in Sensors:
Accelerometer, Air Pressure, Ambient Temperature, Current, Distance, Light, Low Voltage, Microphone (Wave Forms), External Temperature, Sound (db), Voltage, Universal Input

Compatible with additional external sensors including a Force Accelerometer, Respiration, Magnetic Field, Voltage, Current, Heart Rate, and CO2 sensors. 

Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

The Physio Labdisc also comes complete with a MyStemKits Starter Plan allowing you to unlock up to five kits and their curriculum, including all compatible Labdisc lessons. Choose from hundreds of ready-to-3D print models, virtual simulations, and standards-driven lesson plans for K-12 STEM education such as:

• Light Absorbance: Sunglass Shades (1)
