Student-Led Explorations into Respiration Rate and Spirometry

Bring a breath of fresh air into your biology instruction with these exciting spirometry and respiration rate experiments! Join our director of biology, John Melville, as he demonstrates how your students can use the Go Direct^® Respiration Belt and Go Direct Spirometer to measure tidal volume and observe changes in respiration rate. You will also learn how to record videos with data and how to share data through our Vernier Graphical Analysis^® Pro app.  

Attendees will

• Compare respiratory rate in different conditions and take a closer look at the breathing cycle.
• Learn techniques for facilitating guided student inquiry and how to ask non-leading questions to keep students fully engaged throughout the process. 
• Gain hands-on knowledge of two Vernier biology and human physiology sensors: the Go Direct Respiration Belt and Go Direct Spirometer.

This introductory webinar is geared toward biology educators who are just getting started with Vernier or who are not very familiar with our biology solutions. Join us to explore three Vernier tools and get your top questions answered. 

Go Direct Respiration Belt: Measure human breathing patterns quickly with the Go Direct Respiration Belt, which uses a force sensor and an adjustable nylon strap around the chest to measure respiration effort and respiration rate. 

Go Direct Spirometer: The small, lightweight design of the Go Direct Spirometer makes it an excellent choice for human physiology classes. This multichannel sensor reports air pressure, flow rate, volume, and respiration rate. 

Vernier Graphical Analysis Pro: With the Pro version of our Graphical Analysis app, students can visualize and interact with experiment data collected via nearly any Vernier sensor—and you can enrich live instruction while providing more opportunities for students to interact with and analyze data outside of class time.
