Humidity and Dew Point
Students use a weather sensor to examine the differences between absolute and relative humidity and relate those to dew point.
Describing Motion
Students will use a motion sensor to investigate how position, velocity, and acceleration may all be described and quantified when explaining motion.
Kinetics of Crystal Violet Fading (Colorimeter)
Students determine the reaction order of crystal violet fading in the presence of sodium hydroxide.
Weather and Climate: Microclimates
Students observe that air temperature and humidity are affected by the type of structures and organic material around them.
Monitoring Weather
Students investigate weather throughout the course of the day and look for patterns and relationships using their collected data.
Determining Sound Levels
Students learn that sound is produced by vibrating objects, that sound travels from a source through air, solids, and liquids, and its loudness on the...
MatchGraph!
Students learn how to describe motion by competing against the clock to complete various exercises using a motion sensor and the free MatchGraph app.
How a Greenhouse Works: Heat
Using a temperature sensor, students investigate how heat inside a model greenhouse if affected by changes to the covering materials on the box.
How a Greenhouse Works: Light
Students change the angle at which light strikes a model greenhouse and measure its intensity.
Evidence of Chemical Reactions
Students will use baking soda, vinegar, and a temperature sensor to investigate chemical reactions.
