Strange things happen during a solar eclipse! In this lab, students uncover local changes in weather...
Solar Eclipse Light and Temperature Study
In this lab, students use Wireless Light and Temperature Sensors to investigate a solar eclipse and...
Radioactive Decay and Half-Life
Students measure the counts coming from a sample of Ba - 137m with a Geiger counter. They answer questions about radioactive decay and half-life during...
Muscle Stretch Reflex
Students use an EKG sensor along with a force sensor to determine the average time for the calf muscle to respond to the Achilles reflex.
EKG: Electrical Waves of the Heart
Students use an EKG sensor to learn about the relationship between electrical impulses in the heart and atrial and ventricular contractions by monitoring...
EKG: Heart Rate Recovery
Students use an EKG sensor to investigate how an EKG waveform changes in response to a brief period of exercise.
Gene Expression in Yeast
Students use a carbon dioxide sensor to investigate whether yeasts can immediately metabolize a sugar or if the genes required to metabolize the sugar...
Relative Motion
The purpose of this lab is to study motion relative to a moving reference frame. The velocity of a Smart Cart, as measured by the cart's motion sensor,...
Graph Matching
In this lab, the velocity of a Smart Cart Motor is controlled by a Blockly program using an equation of motion. Students try to match the initial velocity...
