Vernier - Photosynthesis
Students will use a Colorimeter to compare the rates of photosynthesis for plants in different light conditions. They investigate the role of chloroplasts and light on photosynthesis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--photosynthesis
What Does a Buffer Do?
Buffers are solutions that resist a change in pH. In this activity, students will add HCl dropwise to a measured amount of water, monitoring the pH. Students then repeat the process, using a simple buffer prepared by combining baking soda and tonic water. A comparison of the results will allow...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-does-a-buffer-do
Designing a Reaction Rate Experiment
In this activity, students will design, conduct, and report the outcome of an experiment in which they investigate some factor that affects the rate of reaction between baking soda and vinegar.
