Sound
Sound Sensor The sound sensor detects sound “intensity” – what we think of as loud or soft. With a sound sensor you can explore the relationships between sound and distance
Our curriculum is organized into learning “modules” called Explorations that provide a consistent, fast, and flexible format for STEM “explorations” whether you teach science, make things, or code like crazy. We recommend you do the ” databot™ Basic Training and read the “Explorations” section first, then dive in!”

Temperature Probe Use the databot waterproof temperature probe for checking the temperature of solid, liquid, and gas substances. Let’s explore! SS Temperature by Heidi Grover
Ultraviolet Light The UV sensor senses Ultraviolet (UV) light wavelengths in the sunlight. Too much UV can cook your goose so be careful! SS UV by Heidi Grover
Volatile Organic Compounds databot’s indoor air quality sensor can detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – chemicals emitted by substances like cleaners, paint thinner, and paints. These substances can be harmful
Chasing the Heat You’re going to learn about how temperature changes over time and why it happens using scientific methods to make careful observations and measurements. Chasing the Heat by
Mass Matters In this activity, you will investigate how different factors, such as the weight and composition of materials, affect their ability to transfer heat. Mass Matters by Robert Grover
The Magic of Energy In this lesson, you will explore three exciting experiments to better understand energy transformations: mechanical energy to thermal energy, solar energy to thermal energy, and light
The Great Energy Switch In this lesson, you’ll explore how energy transforms in everyday situations—like how electrical energy powers a lightbulb or how mechanical energy creates sound. The Great Energy
VOC Hunt You will investigate how air quality differs between various environments by measuring volatile organic compound (VOC) levels with the databot’s VOC sensor. This experiment will enhance your understanding
Body Temperature You will measure skin temperature before and after exercise to understand how your body responds to physical activity. You’ll learn how the circulatory system works to regulate body
Reflect and Grow You will explore how water absorption affects light reflection and how dust on leaves influences the amount of light plants receive. Reflect and Grow by Robert Grover
Diversity of Organisms You will explore how various materials, resembling animal coverings, influence temperature regulation. Through hands-on experiments, you will discover how these adaptations function and their importance for survival.
Structure of Matter You’ll explore how matter changes between solid, liquid, and gas states and observe how different substances respond to changes in temperature and environment. Structure of Matter by
Structure of Matter 2 You will investigate the properties of matter by using databot sensors to observe temperature response, light reflection, and VOC emissions. By measuring these properties, you will
Plant Microclimate This hands-on experiment demonstrates the water cycle and the importance of plants in regulating environmental conditions. Plant Microclimate by Robert Grover
