Organisms and pH
Students use a pH sensor to determine how effective various substances are at resisting large changes in pH.
Membrane Permeability
Students use a pH sensor to explore which substances can and cannot pass through a cell membrane model.
Enzyme Action - Oxygen Sensor
Students use an oxygen sensor to compare the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition with and without a catalyst.
Enzyme Action - Pressure Sensor
Students use a pressure sensor to compare the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition with and without a catalyst.
Vector Addition
The purpose of this experiment is to use a force table to experimentally determine the force that balances two other forces. This result is checked...
Work and Kinetic Energy
How is the work done on an object by a force related to the change in that object's kinetic energy? Investigate the relationship between the...
