Vernier Launches Graphical Analysis™ for Android at Bett 2014

New app expands the type of mobile devices students can use to analyze scientific data

BEAVERTON, Ore., Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Vernier Software & Technology is broadening the opportunities for data collection in STEM classrooms with the release of Graphical Analysis™ for Android. Launching at the Bett Show 2014 in London, the app allows students to wirelessly stream data from Vernier's LabQuest 2 and from Logger Pro to an Android device and then analyze scientific data.

"The launch of Graphical Analysis for Android helps meet the growing demand for data analysis on Android devices designed for the classroom," said David Vernier, co-founder of Vernier and a former physics teacher. "Increasingly, teachers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia are asking for data analysis that supports Android devices. Our goal is to support science teachers on the range of devices they are using for hands-on science instruction."

Students can use Graphical Analysis for Android with existing Vernier sensors to simultaneously collect and graph data from multiple sensors. Additionally, students can graph manually entered data, and access the same analysis and annotation features used for sensor-based data collection.

Graphical Analysis for Android's touch interface is designed specifically for Android tablets and provides a fluid, intuitive learning experience as individual students create and share data analysis. The app enables students to annotate the data, perform curve fits, and make statistical calculations to build evidence of scientific understanding. Graphical Analysis for Android also automatically saves data and annotations within the app so students can view and analyze data after class or at home.

Graphical Analysis for Android will be available via Google Play this spring, and a time-limited, free preview is now available.
