Labquest2 Probes in Fermentation Lab

The Core Biology courses have been studying the production of carbon dioxide by yeast during fermentation. In this class, the students used the Labquest2 and carbon dioxide probes to gather data on the amount of carbon dioxide produced (ppm) over time. They are comparing the results for four different sugars (maltose, glucose, sucrose, and lactose). The Labquest2 enabled to student to capture and share the data as it was being collected via their mobile devices.

These devices were purchased thanks to a very generous grant from the Bronxville School Foundation.

Fermentation Lab Set-up consists of the Labquest2 Tablet which collects data from a carbon dioxide probe (measures ppm) in a flask with 5 ml of yeast suspension and 5ml of a sugar solution.

Brendan's cell phone is receiving the data in real time from the Labquest2 tablet.

Briana sets the parameters for data collection on the Labquest2 while Peyton checks her technique.

Mary Clare and Peyton enter the information used to identify the particular data of this run of the experiment before they print out the graph and data table produced.

Ryan gives the whole process a "thumbs up" as his lab partners Chris, Yanni and Ralph concur.

Vivian semms quite relaxed knowing she has properly configured her group's Labquest2 to collect their data.

Environmental Science Class Discuss "Cradle to Cradle Design"

The Environmental Science class completed their research into global citizenry and "Cradle to Cradle Design" with a Socratic Seminar in which class members discussed what they had learned and what they felt they could do moving forward about intelligent design and its relationship to "hybrid" recycling of materials within the Biological Cycle and the Technological Cycle.

James, Henry, and Jill are listening intently to the discussion as Jocy jots down a thought that has just occurred to her.

Alex, Willow and Samantha are busy preparing for the seminar.

Claire, Emily and Meredith are listening carefully to the points being presented.

Liam makes a cogent point about how the "plastic" gyre in the oceans are impinging on the quality of life.

Paul makes his point as Kyle and Luke ponder what Paul is saying.
