Monitoring Weather
Students investigate weather throughout the course of the day and look for patterns and relationships using their collected data.
How a Greenhouse Works: Heat
Using a temperature sensor, students investigate how heat inside a model greenhouse if affected by changes to the covering materials on the box.
How a Greenhouse Works: Light
Students change the angle at which light strikes a model greenhouse and measure its intensity.
Project: Design a Purification Process
Students must engineer a system to purify water that contains macroscopic and microscopic contaminants...
Research Enhancement: Water Purification
Students research, discuss, and write about a local water pollution issue.
The Water Cycle
Students use a turbidity sensor, a conductivity sensor, and a condenser to explore how energy drives the movement and purification of water through Earth’s...
Ocean Currents
Students use a Temperature Sensor and a Conductivity Sensor to investigate the driving forces behind ocean currents.
Ocean Acidification
Students use a pH sensor to explore the effect of excess atmospheric carbon dioxide on water pH.
Acid Rain and Weathering
In this lab, students will use a pH sensor to test a simulated acid rain’s reaction with a variety of materials.
Exploring Environmental Temperatures
In this lab, students will use a temperature sensor to explore temperatures variations in multiple locations in the environment. Then, they'll organize...
