The Vernier Go Direct sensors offering direct, wireless (Bluetooth) or wired (USB) connectivity to devices (computers, tablets, phones) without needing a separate interface. It uses Vernier's free Graphical Analysis software for data collection and analysis, providing greater versatility, portability and modern compatibility with various platforms.
The Go Direct Structures & Materials Tester helps students evaluate structure and material strength by measuring the applied load and deflection and graphing the resulting data in real time. It connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device.
This tester gives teachers a great way to motivate their students when it is used for engineering activities and competitions with the free Go Direct® Bridge Competition Software.
The tester includes the NGSS-aligned Materials Testing: Beams to Bridges with Go Direct® Structures & Materials Tester e-book to provide engaging engineering investigations to get started and a tackle kit to make it easy to load structures of varying sizes and shapes.
Boost Learning with Hands-On Testing The Go Direct Structures & Materials Tester is an excellent tool for teaching 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.
Investigate Structures Get your students learning right away with the included NGSS-aligned Materials Testing: Beams to Bridges with Go Direct® Structures & Materials Tester e-book. Students complete these engaging activities to investigate various materials and structures. Topics include beams, trusses, determining modulus of elasticity, and bridges.
The Go Direct Structures & Materials Tester also ships with a well-outfitted tackle kit that includes a 50 x 50 x 6 mm and a 50 x 80 x 6 mm aluminium load plate, chain, rods, U-bolts, and other accessories to make it quick and easy to load bridges, materials, beams, and structures of varying sizes and shapes.
Add the Truss Tester Accessory if you are testing trusses, like “Study of Trusses”, the fourth activity in the included e-book.
Use Competition for Motivation Boost student motivation and learning with bridge-building competitions. Our 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.
