Title: CO 2 in the Classroom Subtitle: Why are the students sleeping during our “exciting” lectures?

Using Vernier CBL’s, we propose to take multiple samples of the CO 2 content in a selected classroom during each class period of the day.

NCTM Standard: Problem Solving Instructional programs from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving; apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems;

NATIONAL SCIENCE EDUCATIONS STANDARDS design and conduct scientific investigations. use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications. formulate and revise scientific explanations and models using logic and evidence.
