Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view all activities for this product.
Diffusion
In this lab, students will measure the pH, conductivity, and absorbance of a model cell containing a semi-permeable membrane to better understand cell regulation.
Water Treatment
In this lab, students will model several water treatment methods. Then they will use pH, conductivity, and turbidity sensors to assess the effectiveness of each filter.
Determining Soil Quality
In this lab, students use carbon dioxide, conductivity, and pH sensors to determine the quality of different soil samples.
Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis
In this lab, students will monitor a plant's carbon exchange within a closed system in both light and dark conditions to determine the dominant metabolic pathway.
Respiration of Germinating Seeds
In this lab, students will monitor the respiration rate of germinating seeds in different conditions. Then, they'll analyze their data as it pertains to cellular activity and discuss optimal germination conditions for various...
Soil and pH
In this lab, students will record the pH of several soil samples before determining their suitability for local crops.
