Vernier Announces Exclusive Distributorship of Pivot Interactives' Real-World Science Online Video PlatformBEAVERTON, Ore., June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Vernier Software & Technology will provide high school and college physics students with interactive videos of real scientific phenomena through the distribution of Pivot Interactives. Unlike animated simulations, these high-resolution videos incorporate authentic experiences and data to help students learn physics. These classroom-ready, student-driven, open-ended investigations provide teachers with experiments that would otherwise be impossible, unsafe, impractical, or time consuming to set up for hands-on student instruction. "Pivot Interactives are a perfect supplement to hands-on science investigations for any classroom, including those using Chromebooks™ or flipped learning environments," said John Wheeler, CEO of Vernier Software & Technology. "The videos help AP Physics, IB Physics, and college-level students as they practice key science skills, such as observation, measurement, experimental design, and data analysis, in the classroom or at home." Pivot Interactives' cloud-based web app can be accessed 24/7 using any web-connected device, including Chromebook and iPad®. The videos incorporate time-lapse, slo-motion, multi-camera-angle, and drone videography and cover real events, such as a sprinting Olympian, a rocket launch, and a roller coaster in motion. The Interactives allow students to vary experimental parameters, such as the mass of the object or the frequency of a wave, by choosing one of a set of many recordings of the same experiment. Students can also take measurements using embedded rulers, protractors, and stopwatches, and then graph that data within the online app. To learn more about Pivot Interactives, visit www.vernier.com/pivot.
