Investigating Specific Heat
In this lab, students explore specific heat by measuring the temperatures of water and sand under an incandescent bulb. Then, they use a calorimeter to...
Properties of Water
In this lab, students will use a stainless steel temperature sensor to explore how the properties of water can be explained by the molecular structure...
Air Pollution and Acid Rain
In this lab, students will use a pH sensor to investigate chemical reactions important in the formation of acid rain to understand the relationship between...
Monitoring Water Quality
In this lab, students use a water quality sensor, turbidity sensor, and weather/anemometer sensor to monitor the pH, dissolved oxygen content, conductivity,...
Toxicology Using Yeast
In this lab, students will use a carbon dioxide gas sensor and pH sensor to evaluate pH's role in toxicity and the role of cell culture in toxicology studies.
Hydrostatic Pressure
In this lab, students use a low-pressure sensor to measure the static pressure at different depths in a column of water and use their data to determine...
Buoyant Force
In this lab, students use a high-resolution force sensor to measure the buoyant force on a metal cylinder lowered into a fluid and then determine the relationship...
Boyle's Law
In this lab, students use a low-pressure sensor and a syringe to determine the inverse proportionality between the pressure and volume of an enclosed gas.
Planck's Constant
In this lab, students will use a voltage–current sensor and an AC/DC electronics laboratory to measure the turn-on voltage of various colors of LEDs...
Magnetic Field Strength
In this lab, students use a 2-axis magnetic field sensor and the AC/DC electronics laboratory to determine how the strength of the magnetic field at the...
