Photosynthesis
In this lab, students test how light influences the rate of photosynthesis.
Plant Pigments
In this lab, students will extract pigments from spinach leaves and analyze their samples using chromatography and colorimetry.
Transpiration
In this lab, students investigate the rate of transpiration in plants under normal and humid conditions. Then, they will have the opportunity to design...
Energy Dynamics
Students set up a variety of simple detritus-based model systems to estimate energy flow and carbon cycling within an ecosystem. Students set up their...
Investigating the Temperature Scale
Students use a temperature sensor to discover the relationship between the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales.
Specific Heat
Students use a temperature sensor to experimentally determine the identity of a metal based on its specific heat capacity.
Energy from Food
Students use a temperature sensor to study the difference between food Calories and the calorie unit, and observe how different food samples provide a...
Determining Limiting Reactants
Students use a Pressure Sensor to experimentally determine the limiting and excess reactant when the amount of one reactant is varied and analyze data...
Types of Bonding
Students use a Conductivity Sensor to predict the type(s) of bonding between atoms in solutions made with different substances.
