Factors That Affect Reaction Rate
In this lab. students use a pressure sensor and temperature sensor to explore several variables that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Transpiration
In this lab, students investigate the rate of transpiration in plants under normal and humid conditions. Then, they will have the opportunity to design their own inquiry experiments to test additional variables.
Reaction Rates
In this lab, students will use pressure sensors to determine how the stirring and concentration of reactants affect how fast the reaction between acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate occurs.
Transpiration
Students use a pressure sensor and a weather sensor to investigate the rate of transpiration in plants under normal and humid conditions.
Osmosis
Students use a pressure sensor to study the movement of water through a cell membrane model by osmosis.
What Does Acid Rain Do To Coral Reefs?
Students use a pressure sensor to study what factors affect the reaction of calcium carbonate with acid.
Enzyme Activity
Students use an oxygen gas sensor or pressure sensor to investigate the catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase.
Kinetics: Reaction Order and Rate Constant
Students use a Wireless Pressure Sensor with included accessories and Chemvue software to determine the overall order and rate constant of a decomposition reaction.
Muscle Strength
Students will use a pressure sensor to test grip strength and to investigate muscle fatigue.
Osmotic Movement of Water
Students use the Diffusion-Osmosis Apparatus and Pressure Sensors to explore the osmotic movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
Project: Design an Airbag
Students must engineer an airbag that inflates and uses materials according to a set of design and performance constraints; a temperature and pressure sensor are used to assess airbag performance.
Hydrostatic Pressure
Students use a pressure sensor to measure the static pressure at different depths in a column of water and use their data to determine the mathematical relationship between static pressure and depth in a fluid.
