Learn how technology can impact the chemistry lab with new, standards-based experiments using PASCO® probeware and the Xplorer GLX™.

PASCO probeware and the Xplorer GLX provide a hands-on way to digitally collect and analyze data in the science classroom. The Xplorer GLX brings scientific problem solving to real-world experiments with an array of sensors and probes designed to measure science as it happens.

Use the Xplorer GLX and sensors to hone your data collection and sampling techniques through a series of skill-building activities. Then investigate the inner-workings of chemistry experiments with DataStudio™ software designed to simplify data analysis through a point-and-click interface.
