Summary:
In this activity students will use statistics and regression models to explore the effects of carbon dioxide on blood pH by measuring pH changes that occur over time as carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid. Physiological pH changes…

Modeling Carbon Dioxide with Regression Lab ANSWER KEY.docxDescription
This lab directly develops critical thinking skills in students as they apply regression models to make connections between pH changes in water and CO2 levels in the blood under conditions of rest and exercise. This can be used to demonstrate and discuss biological concepts (cellular respiration and ATP production), Anatomy and Physiology topics (pulmonary respiration, respiratory rate, blood pH), and Biochemistry (carbonic acid formation, pH).
