Calidad del auga - contaminación con metales pesados

Principle

Heavy-metal ions may be carried into surface or ground water from mining fields or via the waste water of galvanic or similar production sites. They block the effect of enzymes so that the processes in the metabolism of the organisms that are controlled by these enzymes may ...

Altitud en un sendero

Principle

The altitude profile of a hiking trail or route to school can be measured during a school trip or as an exercise for the students. The altitude profile can also be used to demonstrate that the atmospheric pressure decreases when the altitude increases. As a result, the experiment is ...

Altitud en un sendero

Mapeo del terreno

Principle

The drawing of maps is one of the favourite tasks of the students during geography lessons and of a high didactic value. The altitude measuring function of the Cobra4 Sensor-Unit "Weather" is a user-friendly tool which provides altitude values so that contour lines can be added ...

Cambios de pH en el curso del agua

Principle

The pH value (a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions) in running waters depends on the geological conditions, the pollution load that is caused by agricultural production, and on plant activities. This experiment shows how the pH value of a stream changes even at a short ...

Cambios de pH en el curso del agua

Comparación de las temperaturas del suelo y del aire duranteel transcurso del día con Cobra4

Principle

How does the temperature of the air affect the temperature of the soil in the course of a day?

Benefits

• Experiment is part of an experiment set with numerous experiments in ecology
• Universal handheld measurement device can also be used for other measurement parameters ...

Comparación de las temperaturas del suelo y del aire duranteel transcurso del día con Cobra4

Estudio del pH de diferentes suelos

Principle

Information concerning the quality of soils is of great importance for agricultural production. The students are familiarised with this subject via two experiments with pH measurements that show how much soils may differ from each other (experiment  "Characteristic pH values ...

Estudio del pH de diferentes suelos

Salinidad de suelos y sustratos de plantas

Principle

How suitable are certain soils and plant substrates for the nutrition of plants? This experiment is about measuring the conductivity, which in turn provides information as to which of the examined soils and plant substrates already contain nutrient salts for plant growth and to ...

Salinidad de suelos y sustratos de plantas

Turberas y humedales

Principle

Bogs and fens are habitats of plants that are specialised in soils with constant excess water. Apart from this specialisation, bogs and fens differ significantly from each other. Raised bogs and fens, for example, have different plant communities, which is due to their varied ...

Cambios de salinidad en el curso del agua

Principle

This experiment shows how the salt that is washed out of an abandoned potassium rock pile drastically increases the salinity of a watercourse, as well as how the salinity decreases only slightly further downstream, and how the salinity can still be measured after the stream has ...
