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

Soil Respiration lab. The Carbon Dioxide Sensor records the CO2 gas released from various samples of soil during soil respiration. Respiration rate is determined from the slope of the line.
