Vernier Go Direct™ Structures & Materials Tester

Description

• The new Go Direct™ Structures & Materials Tester can be used to teach engineering concepts and design processes
• Students evaluate truss, bridge or other structure strength by measuring the applied load and deflection and graphing the resulting data in real time
• Students can more easily apply the redesign phase of the engineering design process, as the tester will cause the weakest element of a structure to fail, leaving the remaining elements intact
• Get your students learning right away with the included NGSS-aligned Materials Testing: Beams to Bridges e-book
• Students complete these engaging activities to investigate various materials and structures
• Topics include beams, trusses, determining modulus of elasticity, and bridges
• Boost student motivation and learning with bridge-building competitions
• Vernier's free Go Direct™ Bridge Competition Software provides immediate, side-by-side comparisons of structure strength for your entire class
• The software provides real-time graphing, giving students immediate feedback on bridge performance
• Features Load Cell Operational Range: 0 to 1,000 N Positive stop to prevent sensor damage Resolution: 0.1 N Displacement Sensor (encoder) Range: 0 to 7 cm Resolution: 1.0 μm Includes Go Direct™ Structures & Materials Tester Materials Testing: Beams to Bridges with Go Direct™ Structures & Materials Tester e-book Tackle Kit Free download: Go Direct™ Bridge Competition Software Assembly Instructions USB micro cable
