Choosing the Right pH Probe for Biology


Experiments using Yogurts/milk such as in the GCSE syllabus
We would recommend our Tris-Compatible pH Probe, the reason for this is a standard pH probe will get clogged up over time. This probe is also very versatile for environmental studies as it can measure the pH of soil slurries, puddles and semi solids.

Experiments Using Lipase and Alginate balls
We would recommend our Glass-Body pH Probe, our standard pH probe is not recommended for this application. The Glass-Body pH Probe can also be used for non-aqueous solutions and solutions that contain organic solvents, strong acids or strong bases.

Using a Gas Chromatograph: Identifying Unknown Compounds


Objectives: 

In this experiment, you will:
  • Measure and analyze the retention time of each of six substances as they pass through a Vernier Mini GC.
  • Measure and analyze the retention time of an unknown mixture of the substances.
  • Identify the substances present in the unknown mixture based on retention times.

Thirst Quenchers Inquiry Experiment


Inquiry experiments can be designed to be carried out using everyday household items. In this experiment, students use common beverages to investigate the relationship between conductivity and electrolyte levels. The experiment uses a Conductivity Probe and LabQuest 2 for data collection and analysis.

Sound Levels at Football Games

We could not resist using our new Sound Level Sensor at some local sporting events this past fall. The first graph shows the sound levels measured at about halfway up the stands in Autzen Stadium during the first half of an Oregon Ducks vs. Utah Utes football game.

WIN a KidWind SimpleGEN

We have one KidWind SimpleGEN to win in this months competition. 

The simpleGEN is an easy-to-build AC generator that allows students to explore the basics of electrical generator design.

Your students can now investigate the fundamentals of electrical generator design with an easy to build AC generator. The KidWind SimpleGEN enables you to demonstrate Faraday's law, light LEDs, and perform experiments that explore how coils, magnets, and rotation affect electrical generation. Convert your generator into a simple motor just by making a few quick alterations whilst also allowing for greater exploration. Further still, you can convert your simpleGEN into a wind turbine nacelle.
