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!
| 5-PS1-3. Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. |
| MS-ESS2-6. Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates. |
| MS-PS1-4. Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. |
| MS-PS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer. |
| HS-ESS2-5. Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes. |
