Blockly Extension: Evidence of Chemical Reactions
In this activity, students develop a Blockly program that determines whether a chemical change is occurring using temperature readings.
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...
MatchGraph!
Students experience and describe motion through competing against the clock and completing various exercises using the MatchGraph app and a motion...
How a Greenhouse Works: Heat
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.
Can Plants Survive without Light?
Students measure the ambient light around three plants for a series of days to discover the best light conditions in which they can grow.
Thermal Insulators and Conductors
Students measure the temperature of water in a variety of cups to identify those that are best served as insulators or conductors.
Evidence of Chemical Reactions
Students will use baking soda, vinegar, and a temperature sensor to investigate chemical reactions.
