Showing 13 experiments that use the Wireless Light and Color Sensor.
Solar Eclipse Light and Temperature Study
In this lab, students use Wireless Light and Temperature Sensors to investigate a solar eclipse and...
Night and Day
Students will be using different models to recreate the effects of the Sun on Earth. In Part 1, students use a simple model to examine night and day. In...
How a Greenhouse Works: Light
Students change the angle at which light strikes a model greenhouse and measure its intensity.
Can Plants Survive without Light?
Students measure the ambient light around three plants for a series of days to discover the best light conditions in which they can grow.
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...
Night and Day
In this lab, students use a light sensor to measure the light level that falls on a simulated earth's surface as it turns through several rotations.
Seasons
In this lab, students will use a light sensor to investigate the relationship between the earth's tilt on its axis, its revolution around the sun, and...
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...
Weather in a Terrarium
In this lab, students will design and conduct an investigation of weather using a closed system, weather sensor, and light sensor to help identify independent...
Light and Dark
In this lab, students use a light sensor to determine how light is related to what they see.
