Description
The Chemistry Extension Lab Station includes four wireless sensors and additional lab components that complement the set of sensors and components found in the Chemistry Starter Lab Station (EC-6362). Together, the sensors from the Chemistry Starter and Extension Lab Stations comprise the sensors to perform many of the lab investigations inside PASCO’s Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual and Advanced Chemistry Through Inquiry Teacher Guide. A storage slot for each sensor in the Chemistry Extension Lab Station is available in the Gratnells storage tray that comes with the Chemistry Starter Lab Station.
Components of the Extension Lab Station
Wireless Sensors: PASCO’s rugged, low-cost wireless sensors connect directly to computers, Chrome books, tablets, and mobile devices to allow students to quickly collect data, leaving more time for analyzing and interpreting data. This lab station includes:
- 1x Wireless Drop Counter (PS-3214)
- 1x Wireless Colorimeter and Turbidity Sensor (PS-3215)
- 1x Wireless Conductivity Sensor (PS-3210)
- 1x Wireless Voltage Sensor (PS-3211)
- 1x Condenser (PS-3402)
- 1x Electrode Support (PS-3505)
Gratnells Storage Tray: The Chemistry Extension Lab Station includes two Gratnells storage trays with custom inserts designed to securely fit each sensor and accessory. These trays provide a convenient and well-ordered storage solution for any classroom, while also making transportation between classrooms effortless.
Digital Access to Lab Activities: Included with the Starter Lab Station is digital access to:
- PASCO’s Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual
- PASCO’s Essential Chemistry Teacher Lab Manual
- PASCO’s Advanced Chemistry Through Inquiry Teacher Guide
Distance Learning Resources: 10 labs from the Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual and Advanced Chemistry Through Inquiry Teacher Guide also include digital resources to support distance learning for students working at home. Resources such as live video recordings of data collection and sample data files they can use to perform their own analyses.
Lab Activities
Combined, the Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual, and Advanced Chemistry Through Inquiry Teacher Guide contain over 90 lab activities ranging from introductory to advanced topics. Below is a list of the 10 printed student handouts inside the Chemistry Starter and Extension Lab Stations.
