SPARKvue

SPARKvue is an award-winning, cross-platform data collection and analysis software suite, trusted by many schools in the UK and worldwide. It is available free to download from your AppStore. SPARKvue is also available as a free 6 month trial for Mac and Windows.

PASCO is producing quick data collection videos and software data files to support educators seeking remote lab opportunities. These home science tools will help integrate video lab experiences into home labs to provide students with a realistic learning opportunity. Students watch a short video showing the data collection part of the lab, then perform the analysis using the data provided in the SPARKvue file. The associated student lab handout guides them and is available for free download. Teachers have free access to each lab’s teacher guide after creating an educator account. You can check out our current list of remote labs below.
