Wow. Vernier Science Education just released version 6.1 of Graphical Analysis. I used the new Remote Logging feature to measure the temperature in the sauna at my club this morning. #iteachchem

Lots of requests for a kinetics webinar so we're doing blue dye kinetics from our Forensic Chem Experiments lab manual. This time using SpectroVis spectrophotometer. Hope to see you there. inspire.vernier.com/crime-scene-...

Ran the experiment 3x yesterday. What was interesting was that twice I saw the O₂ level drop then go up. I thought it might be a temperature effect so I wrapped the bottle with a towel. With the temp channel turned on I could see the exothermic nature of the rxn. #iteachchem

Inspired by a teacher overseas I’m testing a Go Direct O2 Gas sensor with steel wool in a bottle. The results look interesting. #iteachchem

In the last 9 years there have been very similar kinetics questions of 5 AP Chem exams. We've had some requests from teachers for a kinetics webinar. I'm working on it for January. The activity will work on colorimeters or spectrophotometers. The data is excellent. Stay tuned.

In the Chem lab @OMSI today. Flame tests are the huge hit.
