Showing 26 experiments that use the Wireless CO₂ Sensor (Carbon Dioxide).
Exercise and Calorie Expenditure
Students use a wireless oxygen gas sensor, wireless carbon dioxide gas sensor, and spirometer to estimate oxygen consumption and calories burned according...
Gene Expression in Yeast
Students use a carbon dioxide sensor to investigate whether yeasts can immediately metabolize a sugar or if the genes required to metabolize the sugar...
Photosynthesis
Guide students to measure the change in carbon dioxide (in a closed system) with a carbon dioxide sensor to facilitate an understanding of the relationship...
Blockly Extension: Photosynthesis and Carbon Dioxide Emissions
Students use a carbon dioxide sensor and Blockly code to estimate how many actively photosynthesizing...
Metabolism of Yeast
Students use a carbon dioxide sensor to compare the metabolic rate of yeast in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
Respiration of Germinating Seeds
Students use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to explore the energy requirements of seeds moving from dormancy to germination.
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
Students use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to measure the rates of photosynthesis and respiration in spinach leaves.
Energy Dynamics
Students use EcoChamber containers and a carbon dioxide gas sensor to estimate energy flow and carbon cycling within a variety of detritus-based ecosystems.
Photosynthesis
Students use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to test the effect of the color of light on the rate of photosynthesis.
Cellular Respiration
Students use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to investigate the rate of cellular respiration of germinating seeds.
