Pasco Oxygen Gas Sensor

The Oxygen gas sensor allows the student to measure the concentration of Oxygen in the air.

The Basics

These resources may be for a newer model of the sensors we offer. The function should be the same if not similar to what we offer.

Standards Connections

These resources can be used to support standards-based teaching and learning.  They are not intended to meet the full scope of any given standard.  Only some standards are highlighted; many more standards may be connected!  We encourage you to explore and to let us know if you have any questions!

MS-LS1-7. Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. 
MS-LS2-1. Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence for the effects of resource availability on organisms and populations of organisms and populations of organisms in an ecosystem. 
HS-LS1-6. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules. 
HS-LS1-7. Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed, resulting in a net transfer of energy.
HS-ESS2-7. Construct an argument based on evidence about the simultaneous coevolution of Earth’s systems and life on Earth.
