Intensity of Light
Students measure the intensity of a light source vs distance. Using their data they explore the mathematical relationship between intensity and distance...
Varying Reaction Rates
Students will use a wireless temperature link with a fast response temperature probe to investigate how different temperatures affect the rate of a chemical...
Change in Kinetic Energy
Students measure the force from the Smart Fan, then investigate the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the distance traveled. From this...
Interference of Different Wavelengths
The purpose of this experiment is to examine the diffraction and interference patterns formed by...
Interference from Multiple Slits
The purpose of this experiment is to examine the diffraction and interference pattern formed by laser light passing through multiple slits, observing how...
Interference from a Double Slit
The purpose of this experiment is to examine the diffraction and interference patterns formed by laser light passing through two slits and verify that...
Diffraction from a Single Slit
The purpose of this experiment is to examine the diffraction pattern formed by laser light passing through a single slit and verify that the positions...
Phase Change
Students will use a wireless temperature sensor to determine the effect of phase change on the temperature of a substance.
Ohm's Law
Students measure the current and voltage across a resistor while varying the output voltage, A graph of voltage versus current will reveal Ohm's Law. This...
Fermentation
Students use an ethanol sensor to determine the ability of yeast to use different types of carbohydrates—sucrose and starch—for fermentation.
