Determining Soil Quality
In this lab, students will collect and analyze three soil samples to determine their quality based on macro and microscopic observations, CO2 production,...
Insolation and the Seasons
In this lab, students will develop and test a model solar panel that measures temperature changes at different angles. Students will record maximum and...
Investigating Specific Heat
In this lab, students explore specific heat by measuring the temperatures of water and sand under an incandescent bulb. Then, they use a calorimeter to...
Properties of Water
In this lab, students will use a stainless steel temperature sensor to explore how the properties of water can be explained by the molecular structure...
Air Pollution and Acid Rain
In this lab, students will use a pH sensor to investigate chemical reactions important in the formation of acid rain to understand the relationship between...
Monitoring Water Quality
In this lab, students use a water quality sensor, turbidity sensor, and weather/anemometer sensor to monitor the pH, dissolved oxygen content, conductivity,...
Toxicology Using Yeast
In this lab, students will use a carbon dioxide gas sensor and pH sensor to evaluate pH's role in toxicity and the role of cell culture in toxicology studies.
Hydrostatic Pressure
In this lab, students use a low-pressure sensor to measure the static pressure at different depths in a column of water and use their data to determine...
Buoyant Force
In this lab, students use a high-resolution force sensor to measure the buoyant force on a metal cylinder lowered into a fluid and then determine the relationship...
Boyle's Law
In this lab, students use a low-pressure sensor and a syringe to determine the inverse proportionality between the pressure and volume of an enclosed gas.
