Weather and Climate: Microclimates
Students observe that air temperature and humidity are affected by the type of structures and organic material around them.
Monitoring Weather
Students investigate weather throughout the course of the day and look for patterns and relationships using their collected data.
Determining Sound Levels
Students learn that sound is produced by vibrating objects, that sound travels from a source through air, solids, and liquids, and its loudness on the...
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.
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.
Evidence of Chemical Reactions
Students will use baking soda, vinegar, and a temperature sensor to investigate chemical reactions.
Temperature and Change
Students will use a temperature sensor, sugar cubes, and water to investigate how temperature can affect the rate in which a solid dissolves.
Blockly Extension: Fish Tank Water Quality
Students will use an optical dissolved oxygen sensor and Blockly code to write a program that helps...
Regulation of Body Heat
Students use two fast response temperature probes to look for evidence of homeostasis while experiencing changes in external body temperature.
