Vernier - Enzyme Action: Testing Catalase Activity
Students will use an O2 Gas Sensor to measure the amount of O2 produced when H2O2 is broken down by the enzyme catalase at different concentrations, pH values, and temperatures. They will also measure the enzyme's initial reaction rates.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--enzyme-action-testing-catalase-activity
Vernier - Microscale Acid-Base Titration
In this activity, students' will use a pH sensor to determine the change in pH during a titration of a known concentration of NaOH and unknown concentration of HCl. Students' will determine the concentration of unknown HCl.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--microscale-acidbase-titration
Vernier - Nitrate
Student uses the Nitrate Ion-Selective Probe to measure the Nitrate ions concentration in water samples. In another method, student converts nitrate ions to nitrite and use the Vernier Colorimeter to measure nitrite and calculate the nitrate levels.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--nitrate
Electron Charge Lab
Student may experimentally determine the magnitude of the elementary charge on an electron.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electron-charge-lab
Projectile Motion Simulation
Students can investigate the effects of changing various initial quantities on the motion of a projectile. The simulation allows for firing a projectile over or up onto a cliff or over level ground. The results are displayed both graphically and mathematically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/projectile-motion-simulation
Shape Up!
In this activity, students will use the motion detector to record motion, and observe how the direction of movement, speed of travel, and the rate of change of direction and speed affect the shape of a Distance-Time plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shape-up
