The Xplorer GLX is a powerful tool for science--giving you the option of performing probeware-based experiments even when you don't have computers available.

These lab manuals provide experiments written for using the Xplorer GLX as a stand-alone science computer. Measure, analyze, print or save to a USB flash drive for further analysis or reports--all with the Xplorer GLX and the appropriate sensors.

Includes the manual in a 3-ring binder and a USB Flash Drive.

Included on the Flash Drive:

  • Editable experiment instructions and teacher notes (provided in Microsoft Word and PDF)
  • Xplorer GLX setup files
  • Sample data
GLX

Compare two runs of data from a transpiring leaf; one with a fan blowing and one without. The Barometer/Low Pressure Sensor measures the change in pressure at the end of the plant stem during transpiration.
