Exercise and Blood Pressure
Students use a blood pressure sensor to learn how to measure blood pressure and understand how aerobic exercise affects blood pressure parameters.
Exercise and Heart Rate
Students use a hand grip heart rate sensor to learn about the circulatory system by monitoring their heart rate while resting and while exercising.
EKG: Factors that Affect the Heart
Students use an EKG sensor to measure and interpret the electrical activity of the heart muscles.
Weather in a Terrarium
Students use a weather sensor in a terrarium to understand the relationship between the water cycle and energy within a microclimate.
Water Purification
Students use a pH sensor and a conductivity sensor to evaluate the effectiveness of various water treatment processes.
Water and pH
Students use a pH sensor and a conductivity sensor to investigate how an ecosystem could be susceptible to the effects of pollution.
Transpiration
Students use a pressure sensor to explore how changing atmospheric conditions affect the transpiration rate of a plant.
Soil pH
Students use a pH sensor to investigate how local soil quality may impact the ability to support agricultural crops.
Photosynthesis of Aquatic Plants
Students use an optical dissolved oxygen sensor and a photosynthesis tank to study the photosynthetic rate of aquatic plants under different light conditions.
Metabolism of Yeast
Students use a carbon dioxide sensor to compare the metabolic rate of yeast in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
