Acid Rain and Weathering
Students will use a pH sensor and vinegar to model the effects of acid rain on various materials.
Introduction to Acids and Bases
Students will use a pH sensor to determine the pH of common household substances.
Describing Motion
Students will use a motion sensor to investigate how position, velocity, and acceleration may all be described and quantified when explaining motion.
MatchGraph!
Students learn how to describe motion by competing against the clock to complete various exercises using a motion sensor and the free MatchGraph app.
Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds
Students will use hardness, melting point, solubility, and conductivity to determine the bond type...
pH of Household Chemicals
Students will use a pH sensor to determine the pH of common household substances.
Archimedes' Principle
In this lab, students will use force sensors to measure the change in gravitational force on an object in the air and on that same object immersed in water.
Boyle's Law
In this lab, students will use absolute pressure sensors to investigate how changes in the volume of a confined gas with constant temperature affects pressure.
Conservation of Matter
In this lab, students will use temperature and absolute pressure sensors to measure changes in temperature and pressure during an oxidation reaction.
Energy Transfer
In this lab, students will use stainless steel temperature sensors to measure the transfer of heat energy from a candle flame through convection and conduction.
