Amino Acid to Protein
Students use a Molecular Model Set to explore amino acids and a polymerization reaction where amino acids are joined to build a “protein”.
Chlorophyll Extraction
Students use a colorimeter to investigate which wavelengths of light are best absorbed by green plants.
Respiration and Energy
Students use a Pressure Sensor to explore the effect of different energy sources on the respiration rate of yeast cells.
Greenhouse Gases
Students use a temperature sensor to investigate how changing the composition of air affects the rate at which its temperature will increase when energy...
The Water Cycle
Students use a turbidity sensor, a conductivity sensor, and a condenser to explore how energy drives the movement and purification of water through Earth’s...
Ocean Currents
Students use a Temperature Sensor and a Conductivity Sensor to investigate the driving forces behind ocean currents.
Ocean Acidification
Students use a pH sensor to explore the effect of excess atmospheric carbon dioxide on water pH.
Spectroscopy
Students use PASCO’s Spectrum Cards to model the use of spectroscopy to identify elements present in a compound.
Graphs of Motion
What do graphs of motion look like? The Smart Cart is a device that displays its motion—position, velocity, and acceleration—on your computer in real-time...
Motion Graphs
How do we predict and object’s position at a later time? Graphs and equations are valuable methods for describing the motion of an object.
