Volume of Breath
Students use a spirometer to investigate how the amount of air moving in and out of the lungs changes with exercise.
Regulation of Body Heat
Students use two fast response temperature probes to look for evidence of homeostasis while experiencing changes in external body temperature.
Muscle Strength
Students use a pressure sensor to test grip strength and to investigate muscle fatigue.
Exercise and Blood Pressure
Students use a blood pressure sensor to learn how to measure blood pressure and understand how aerobic exercise affects blood pressure parameters.
Exercise and Heart Rate
Students use a hand grip heart rate sensor to learn about the circulatory system by monitoring their heart rate while resting and while exercising.
EKG: Factors that Affect the Heart
Students use an EKG sensor to measure and interpret the electrical activity of the heart muscles.
Weather in a Terrarium
Students use a weather sensor in a terrarium to understand the relationship between the water cycle and energy within a microclimate.
Water Purification
Students use a pH sensor and a conductivity sensor to evaluate the effectiveness of various water treatment processes.
Water and pH
Students use a pH sensor and a conductivity sensor to investigate how an ecosystem could be susceptible to the effects of pollution.
Transpiration
Students use a pressure sensor to explore how changing atmospheric conditions affect the transpiration rate of a plant.
