Middle School / Earth Science

Humidity and Dew Point

Students use a weather sensor to examine the differences between absolute and relative humidity and relate those to dew point.

Middle School / Physical Science

Describing Motion

Students will use a motion sensor to investigate how position, velocity, and acceleration may all be described and quantified when explaining motion.

Advanced Placement / Chemistry

Kinetics of Crystal Violet Fading (Colorimeter)

Students determine the reaction order of crystal violet fading in the presence of sodium hydroxide.

Elementary

Weather and Climate: Microclimates

Students observe that air temperature and humidity are affected by the type of structures and organic material around them.

Elementary / Earth ScienceElementary Science

Monitoring Weather

Students investigate weather throughout the course of the day and look for patterns and relationships using their collected data.

Elementary

Determining Sound Levels

Students learn that sound is produced by vibrating objects, that sound travels from a source through air, solids, and liquids, and its loudness on the...

MatchGraph!

Students learn how to describe motion by competing against the clock to complete various exercises using a motion sensor and the free MatchGraph app.

Elementary / Earth Science

How a Greenhouse Works: Heat

Using a temperature sensor, students investigate how heat inside a model greenhouse if affected by changes to the covering materials on the box.

Elementary / Earth Science

How a Greenhouse Works: Light

Students change the angle at which light strikes a model greenhouse and measure its intensity.

Elementary / Chemistry

Evidence of Chemical Reactions

Students will use baking soda, vinegar, and a temperature sensor to investigate chemical reactions.
