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...
Determining Soil Quality
In this lab, students use carbon dioxide, conductivity, and pH sensors to determine the quality of different soil samples.
Water Treatment
In this lab, students will model several water treatment methods. Then they will use pH, conductivity, and turbidity sensors to assess the effectiveness...
Freshwater Quality Monitoring
In this lab, students assess the local water quality using measurements from pH, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity sensors.
Water and pH
In this lab, students will investigate the conductivity and pH of local water sources before determining the buffering capacity of each sample using a...
Respiration of Germinating Seeds
In this lab, students will monitor the respiration rate of germinating seeds in different conditions. Then, they'll analyze their data as it pertains to...
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 Respiration and Photosynthesis
In this lab, students will monitor a plant's carbon exchange within a closed system in both light and dark conditions to determine the dominant metabolic...
Modeling an Ecosystem
In this lab, students will design and study three, small ecosystems. Students will manipulate system interactions while monitoring gas exchange, environmental...
