Initiative Title	Vernier Delux Multi-Probe Package
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Vernier Deluxe Multi-Probe Package which include analytical sensor/probes for pH, oxygen, carbon dioxide, as well as an electroconductivity sensor useful for monitoring heart function (heart rate, ECG). This kit also includes optical probes for measuring turbidity, a colorimeter useful in monitoring acid-bare titrations and enzyme readions and biochambers in which mini-experiments to study processes of photosynthesis and respiration can be conducted. It is envisioned that outfitting Introduction to Biology and General Biology I labs (equipment would be shared). Such equipment would allow student hands-on opportunities to collect and analyze data from which to draw conclusions giving them real experience with the scientific method. Such probes represent cutting-edge technology and would greatly expedite lab-based experimentation as related to achieving 'Gen Ed' goals and competencies which such courses are designed to provide. Additionally, access to such probes/sensors would be useful in certain A & P labs (ECG, heart monitor) and Environmental Conservation (water quality monitoring.. For educational programmatic consistency we are requesting funding for 5 Deluxe Kits for each venue where Introduction to Biology is taught (Middletown and Newburgh). In practice, groups of 4 students would work together on lab experiments/exercises so 5 kits would suffice to serve a lab with 20 students. Funding for accessory materials/software is also included in this initiative request. Deluxe package (Middletown (5) and Newburgh (5) $8,285 each. Also, Logger Pro 3 software (2) $498, Biology with Vernier manual - $40. single purchase, Chromebook Laptops (5 each) $1,245 each campus, Total Middletown cost: $9,815, Newburgh cost: $9,815 GRAND TOTal: $19,630
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	It is difficult for students to grasp certain concepts, but with this equipment, that will enhance their understanding.
