Abstract
This lab consists of activities designed to teach students about microfluidics.
The entire bundle can be downloaded by clicking on the download link in the upper right or compontents can be individually downloaded by visiting the Supporting Docs tab.
Learning Objectives:
-
Understand how the polarity of a substance affects its physical properties of boiling point and surface tension.
-
Test how the concentrations of liquids in two-component solutions affect the interaction of individual solution droplets.
-
Explain how molecular shape and polarity of individual particles.
-
Understand how differences in substances in a two-component solution affect the interaction of the microfluidic droplets.
-
Understand how the movement of two-component solutions is used to in the development of microfluidic devices.
