Cellular Respiration in Animals
In this activity, students will quantify the rate of cellular respiration for a macroinvertebrate or fish and determine the oxygen consumption rate.
Plant Photosynthesis and Respiration
In this activity, students will measure carbon dioxide levels in a closed environment to determine rates of photosynthesis and respiration for different...
Decomposition
In this lab, students will investigate the rate of decomposition in different soil and substrate samples.
Ecological Accounting
In this activity, students will determine how carbon cycling, photosynthesis, and respiration relate on a micro-scale by calculating the number of moles...
Monitoring Microclimates
In this lab, students use a weather or anemometer sensor to identify factors that affect measurements used in reporting weather and climate information.
Sunlight Intensity and Reflectivity
In this lab, students will use a light sensor, a fast-response temperature probe, and a stainless steel temperature probe to explore the concept that air...
Tracking Weather
In this lab, students use a weather/anemometer sensor to determine how variations in temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, dew point, wind speed,...
Earth's Magnetic Field
In this lab, students use a magnetic field sensor to visualize the magnetic field lines surrounding Earth.
Radiation Energy Transfer
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to determine the effect the color of a container has on the temperature of water in the container as it...
Seafloor Spreading and Plate Tectonics
In this lab, students use a magnetic field sensor to explore the movement of Earth's crustal plates...
