Carbon Dioxide Sampling:
PURPOSE
: To sample various room at school to see the CO2 levels during the day.

MATERIALS:   CO2 PASCO device, access to computer with internet, printer.

PROCEDURE: PART I: Sampling: Each person should pick a different location to collect data).

1. Make sure the Carbon Dioxide device is hooked up.

2. Read the Carbon Dioxide PASCO Sampling card from PASCO then load DATA STUDIO.

3. Click on start new experiment, then start experiment. Make sure sensor is recording.

4. After one hour or if time longer, complete experiment and printout CO2 graph.

PART II:  ANALYSIS OF CO2 DATA GRAPHS:   
(After printing graph record value on clipboard for the class).

1.  Work with others in your class to obtain five total readings, Complete the table below:

ROOM
