Temperature and Change
Students will use a temperature sensor, sugar cubes, and water to investigate how temperature can affect the rate in which a solid dissolves.
How Hard is Your Tap Water?
Students use conductometric titration and gravimetry to determine how much calcium carbonate is in a sample of tap water.
Blockly Extension: Fish Tank Water Quality
Students will use an optical dissolved oxygen sensor and Blockly code to write a program that helps...
Regulation of Body Heat
Students use two fast response temperature probes to look for evidence of homeostasis while experiencing changes in external body temperature.
Acid Rain
Students use a pH sensor to measure the impact atmospheric pollutants have on rainfall and plant growth.
Respiration of Germinating Seeds
Students use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to explore the energy requirements of seeds moving from dormancy to germination.
Osmosis
Students use a pressure sensor to study the movement of water through a cell membrane model by osmosis.
Membrane Permeability (pH sensor)
Students use a pH sensor to explore which substances can and cannot pass through a cell membrane model.
Enzyme Action - Oxygen Sensor
Students use an oxygen sensor to compare the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition with and without a catalyst.
Enzyme Action - Pressure Sensor
Students use a pressure sensor to compare the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition with and without a catalyst.
