Plant Growth and Water Content
Students use a soil moisture sensor to determine the ideal moisture level for optimum plant growth.
Gene Expression in Yeast
Students use a carbon dioxide sensor to investigate whether yeasts can immediately metabolize a sugar or if the genes required to metabolize the sugar...
Carbon Cycle Chemistry
How does pH data provide evidence of the chemical reactions that cycle carbon through water, air, land, and life forms? In this investigation, students...
Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis
In this lab, students will separate plant pigments from a sample using paper chromatography and measure the light reactions of photosynthesis using a colorimetric...
Plant Pigments
Students analyze spinach pigments and chloroplasts using paper chromatography, a colorimeter, and a spectrometer to understand how plants capture light...
ABI Sickle Cell Gene Detection
Students use electrophoresis to analyze DNA samples from a child and the child’s parents to determine if the child has inherited a mutation in the gene...
ABI Understanding Inherited Mitochondrial Disorders
Students use pedigree analysis and DNA analysis (electrophoresis) to confirm or refute the initial...
ABI Transformation
Students transform bacteria with a plasmid that contains an ampicillin resistance gene and a gfp gene that is regulated so only some transformed cells...
Blockly Extension: Fish Tank Water Quality
Students will use an optical dissolved oxygen sensor and Blockly code to write a program that helps...
