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...
Cellular Respiration
Students use a carbon dioxide gas sensor to investigate the rate of cellular respiration of germinating seeds.
Homeostasis
Students use multiple temperature probes simultaneously to investigate the body’s ability to maintain homeostasis when subjected to a cold stimulus....
Cell Size
Students use a conductivity sensor to measure the effect of cell size on solute diffusion rate using agarose-salt cubes.
Plasmolysis
Students use a conductivity sensor to explain the results of different concentrations of salt water on plant tissue before they design an experiment to...
Osmosis
Students use a colorimeter to determine which extracellular fluid is hypertonic to a model cell and which solution is hypotonic.
Diffusion
Students use a pH sensor to investigate the diffusion of hydrogen ions through a semipermeable membrane, comparing the rates of diffusion for two solutions...
Peppered Moths Graphing Activity
How do genetic traits help or hurt organisms when environmental changes occur? See how you can use SPARKvue to help with analysis of data in a table.
Enzyme Activity (Oxygen)
Students use an oxygen gas sensor to investigate the catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase.
Mathematical Modeling of Evolution
Students work with a mathematical model and computer simulation to explore how inheritance patterns and gene frequencies change in a population.
