SPARK Charging Station

Ideal for a classroom set of SPARK Science Learning Systems, this charging station saves both time and lab space.  Charge up to ten SPARK Science Learning Systems simultaneously while also storing them efficiently.  The rugged and compact frame also offers two storage drawers for sensors or supplies.

At under 6 pounds empty and only 20 pounds when loaded with 10 SPARK Science Learning Systems, it is incredibly portable which makes clean up or moving between classrooms that much easier.

Note:  SPARK Science Learning Systems are not included.

Keep the focus on the science, not the software

The reasons to use probeware in science classrooms are numerous:  the ability to gather accurate data and graph results in real time, allowing students to capture measurements that were previously too difficult to do by other means, and a faster setup time with less equipment are just a few of the benefits it provides.

And what if we at PASCO told you it would be simple to implement?  No confusing interface, no complicated instructions - just an intuitive solution to integrating the power of probeware into your classroom.  A way to make labs and activities more effective and enhance your lessons, your way.

That's where SPARKvue comes in.  The same software that powers our standalone SPARK Science Learning System is now available for use on your computer.  Simply connect an interface and plug in any one of more than 70 PASPORT sensors and you can immediately begin collecting data.  It really is that simple.  And in a touch screen environment it becomes even more "hands on.

Simple but powerful

SPARKvue was designed to be a solution for science students of all levels -- simple enough for elementary-level learners but with the features to suit the needs of advanced physics, chemistry, biology or environmental science students.  The key is that SPARKvue has a layered interface which doesn't overburden the user with tools, but reveals powerful capabilities when needed.

And the bold, full-color interface allows you to use media-rich content to grab students' attention and keep them engaged.  You can create your own labs with any graphics or text that you wish or purchase the set of over 60 SPARKlabs we have created for every subject area.

SPARKvue - the simple, convenient, reliable and complete solution to using probeware in your classroom.
