Phase Change
In this lab, students will use stainless steel temperature sensors to observe physical changes in a system undergoing a phase change.
Specific Heat of a Metal
In this lab, students will use stainless steel temperature sensors to compare the heat transferred by different metals to water.
Heat of Fusion
In this lab, students will use temperature sensors to identify heat as a form of energy. Students will observe heat transfer during a phase change from...
Heat of Vaporization
In this lab, students will use temperature sensors to develop a better understanding of the phase change from gas to liquid.
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.
Absolute Zero
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure and temperature sensors to experimentally determine a numerical value for absolute zero in degrees Celsius.
Charge and Electric Field
In this lab, students will use charge sensors to charge different objects by contact and to explore the electric field produced by various charged objects.
Voltage: Fruit Battery/Generator
In this lab, students will use voltage sensors to explore both the chemical and physical production of a potential difference.
Ohm's Law
In this lab, students will use voltage and current sensors to investigate the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in a circuit.
Series and Parallel Circuits
In this lab, students use voltage and current sensors to explore the properties of both series and parallel circuits.
