Principle

The release of the greenhouse gas methane from various sources can be determined with a sensor that measures methane and other volatile organic substances.

Benefits

• Highly topical subject: methane is an important driver of global warming (greenhouse gas).

• Particularly comprehensible and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life etc.) incl. protocol questions.

• Teach with an eye to the future: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones.

• Increased motivation among pupils through the use of the intuitive measureAPP.

• Increased media competence.

Tasks

• Measurement of methane concentration from different methane sources

• Measurement of other volatile organic substances

Learning objectives

• Measure different methane sources and those of other volatile organic substances
