High School / Biology

Plant Pigments

Students analyze spinach pigments and chloroplasts using paper chromatography, a colorimeter, and a spectrometer to understand how plants capture light...

Middle School / Physical Science

Waves and Energy

Students learn that sound is produced by vibrating objects, that sound travels from a source through air, solids, and liquids, and its loudness depends...

Middle School / Physical Science

Forces and Interactions

Students will investigate the relationship between force and acceleration. Newton's first law and and second law will also be explored.

Middle School / Life Science

Photosynthesis

Guide students to measure the change in carbon dioxide (in a closed system) with a carbon dioxide sensor to facilitate an understanding of the relationship...

Middle School / Earth Science

Seasons and Temperature

Students will use different models to recreate the effects of the Sun on Earth. In Part 1, students use a model to examine the equinox. In Part 2, students...

Middle School / Earth Science

Night and Day

Students will be using different models to recreate the effects of the Sun on Earth. In Part 1, students use a simple model to examine night and day. In...

Advanced Placement / Chemistry

Investigation of Acid-Base Titrations

Students compare the pH titration profiles of strong, weak and polyprotic acids.

Middle School / Earth Science

Humidity and Dew Point

Students use a weather sensor to examine the differences between absolute and relative humidity and relate those to dew point.

Middle School / Physical Science

Describing Motion

Students will use a motion sensor to investigate how position, velocity, and acceleration may all be described and quantified when explaining motion.

Advanced Placement / Chemistry

Kinetics of Crystal Violet Fading (Colorimeter)

Students determine the reaction order of crystal violet fading in the presence of sodium hydroxide.
