Product Guides & Articles
PASCO Interfaces Comparison
We offer a variety of interfaces with diverse applications. Some of our products, such as the PASPORT and ScienceWorkshop sensors, require an interface, while others do not. This helpful page compares interface features, applications, and connectivity to help you decide which interface will serve you best.
Temperature Sensors
Our highly affordable temperature sensors provide unparalleled convenience during any experiment by eliminating the need for manually recorded temperature data. This page contains a comparison chart for PASCO temperature sensors to help you discover what’s possible when you use a modern thermometer.
pH Sensors & Probes
A pH sensor is a type of probe used to measure the pH of solutions in chemistry, biology, and other science applications. pH probes are often used to determine the basicity or acidity of an aqueous solution.
Wireless Gas Sensors
Wireless gas sensors are invaluable tools in modern science labs, revolutionizing the way researchers and students study metabolic processes, combustion, decomposition, and more.
Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the AirLink Interface.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Volume of Breath
Students use a spirometer to investigate how the amount of air moving in and out of the lungs changes with exercise.
Fermentation
In this lab, students determine the ability of yeast to use different types of carbohydrates—sucrose and starch—for fermentation and monitor the reaction using an ethanol sensor to differentiate this process from respiration.
Plasmolysis
Students use a conductivity sensor to explain the results of different concentrations of salt water on plant tissue before they design an experiment to compare the water potential of different plant tissues.
Fermentation
Students use an ethanol sensor to determine the ability of yeast to use different types of carbohydrates—sucrose and starch—for fermentation.
Energy Dynamics
Students set up a variety of simple detritus-based model systems to estimate energy flow and carbon cycling within an ecosystem. Students set up their ecosystem with a known detritivore, a known decomposer, or a combination of...
EKG: Factors that Affect the Heart
Students use an EKG sensor to measure and interpret the electrical activity of the heart muscles.
