Biology

Gearbox Labs has worked with all of the sensors on this page. Many appear in one or more of our publications.

Links to the sensor on our store are included. After each sensor are some ideas that would be great science or engineering fair ideas.

Plants

• Color Sensor - this sensor detects pigments in different materials. In biology we use this sensor to detect different photosynthetic pigments as well as color detection of foods (ripeness, cleanliness) View Video | Store Link
