Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the Wireless Pressure Sensor.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Boyle's Law
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure sensors to observe the relationship between volume and pressure of an enclosed gas at constant temperature.
Boyle's Law
Students use a pressure sensor and a syringe to determine the inverse proportionality between the pressure and volume of an enclosed gas.
Muscle Strength
Students will use a pressure sensor to test grip strength and to investigate muscle fatigue.
Muscle Strength
Students use a pressure sensor to test grip strength and to investigate muscle fatigue.
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.
Investigating Physical and Chemical Changes of Matter
Students use a variety of sensors and particle modeling to characterize physical and chemical changes of matter.
