AP Biology students using Labquest2 Tablets in their study of Cellular Respiration

The Bronxville Foundation generously provided the funds for the science department in the high school to purchase the Vernier LabQuest2 tablets. These tablets are used with the existing data probes in the school to collect. These tablets are Bluetooth enabled, so students can capture the data simultaneously on the devices and send it in real time to their mobile devices where they can capture as an image the final graph or data tables. The complete data can be emailed from the LabQuest2 tablets to their homes where they can use the Logger Lite program to carryout further analysis of the data in the comfort of their homes.

Here the AP Biology class is completing a Cell Respiration Lab comparing the rate of cellular respiration by measuring the output of carbon dioxide. They compared results using ungerminated peas, germinated peas, and glass beads.
Labquest2 Tablet in the center is sending data as it collects it to the students' mobile devices. Here these AP Biology students are measuring the production of carbon dioxide from the peas in the bottle in the upper right corner of the picture.
