Description
Science is a field that has constantly been developed
through discovery of real world phenomenons. Lab
sensors allow students to see, in real time, the changes
that are taking place during chemical reactions. The use
of lab sensors allows students to investigate such
phenomenons as gas laws, energy changes, pH changes
and more all why working together with their lab partners
to create a deeper understanding of the physical world
around us. The Pasco sensor package that is being
requested would include wireless sensors for: pH,
temperature, conductivity, and gas pressure. These
sensors are wireless and integrate seamlessly with
students' chromebooks through a free app produced by
Pasco. The app allows for students to see data
measurements instantly and gives students the ability to
manipulate data produced during the labs. This gives
students the opportunity to not only see chemical
relationships at a deeper level but to gain experience
producing data and lab reports at the level required in the
21st century. These lab sensors would be used by
students in physical science, chemistry, honors chemistry
and AP chemistry, making a significant impact on
hundreds of students every year.
This grant will allow students have access and use serval
different types of data sensors that are used in college
chemistry classes and chemical careers. The purposed
sensors will also integrate with students chromebooks,
allowing them to process real time data.
