Density of a Solid
Students design an experiment to determine the volume of an object with an irregular shape.
Chemical Formula
Students use the Molecular Model Set to explore representations of matter at the particle level.
Pure Substances and Mixtures
How can the physical characteristics of a mixture be used to separate individual, pure substances?
Physical or Chemical Change
Students use a pH Sensor, a Conductivity Sensor, and a Temperature Sensor to collect evidence that supports their conclusion about whether a chemical or...
Temperature and Thermal Energy
Students use a temperature sensor to help them understand how energy flows between a system and its surroundings, and the difference between the total...
Specific Heat
Students use a temperature sensor to experimentally determine the identity of a metal based on its specific heat capacity.
Energy from Food
Students use a temperature sensor to study the difference between food Calories and the calorie unit, and observe how different food samples provide a...
Heat of Fusion
Students use a temperature sensor to describe the flow of energy through a system during a phase change.
Project: Design an Insulator
Students must engineer an insulated container to minimize heat loss according to a set of design and performance constraints; a temperature sensor is used...
