O2 Gas Sensor
The O2 Gas Sensor is used to monitor gaseous oxygen levels in a variety of biology and chemistry experiments.

Suggested Experiments
  • Monitor human respiration during exercise
  • Measure concentration of oxygen gas generated during decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase
  • Monitor changes in oxygen concentration during photosynthesis and respiration of plants
  • Monitor respiration of animals, insects, or germinating seeds
  • Monitor oxidation of metals such as iron
  • Monitor consumption of oxygen by yeast during respiration of sugars
  • Investigate respired oxygen levels while a student holds his or her breath for different time intervals
Monitoring O2 levels after
holding breath
