Designing and Testing Crash Cushions
Students measure the acceleration of a cart as it collides with a solid barrier and a simple crash cushion. Students use their data and Newton's Second...
Distance Learning Lab: Kinetics of Crystal Violet Fading (Colorimeter)
Students will investigate the kinetics of crystal violet fading in the presence of sodium hydroxide...
Energy Dynamics
Students use EcoChamber containers and a carbon dioxide gas sensor to estimate energy flow and carbon cycling within a variety of detritus-based ecosystems.
Plant Pigments
Students analyze spinach pigments and chloroplasts using paper chromatography, a colorimeter, and a spectrometer to understand how plants capture light...
Transpiration
Students use a pressure sensor and a weather sensor to investigate the rate of transpiration in plants under normal and humid conditions.
Spherical Mirror Reflection
Students use an optics light source, optics track, and half screen to measure the image and object distances associated with the real image formed by a...
Snell's Law
Students use an optics ray table to measure the incident and refraction angles of a light ray traveling from air into a material with unknown index of...
Photosynthesis
Students use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to test the effect of the color of light on the rate of photosynthesis.
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.
Focal Length of a Converging Lens
Students use an optics light source, optics track, and viewing screen to measure the image and object distances associated with the real image formed by...
