Determining Sound Levels
In this lab, students use a sound level sensor to measure the sound levels from different objects. Students will determine the sound sources, and determine...
Keeping Warm
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to understand which materials conduct heat and which don’t, and why they do or don’t.
Heating Land and Water
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to identify the property that allows some materials to heat up faster than others. Students will draw...
Chemical Reactions
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to measure the change in temperature as two substances chemically react.
Weather Station
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to measure temperature, dew point, humidity and atmospheric pressure over a period of time. Then, they'll identify...
Dew and Frost
In this lab, students use a fast-response temperature sensor and a model to simulate the weather conditions responsible for the formation of dew and frost.
Microclimates
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to compare the temperature and humidity of various sites and determine the reason for any variations.
How a Greenhouse Works: Light
In this lab, students use a light sensor to determine how light or brightness depends on the angle at which the sun’s light strikes the surface of the...
How a Greenhouse Works: Heat
In this lab, students use a temperature sensor to measure the heat generated in a model greenhouse by altering the types of material that light passes...
Position: Match Graph
In this lab, students will use motion sensors to track and graph their motion in real time. Students will get a hands-on introduction to the concept of...
