Measure Electrolytes in Sports Drinks - Science Project

This video tutorial guides viewers through the Electrolyte Challenge project, which involves measuring the conductivity of liquids using a multimeter. It covers the construction of a conductance sensor, setting up the circuit, and taking accurate readings. The tutorial also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues like short circuits and blown fuses. Viewers are advised to handle components carefully to avoid errors and ensure accurate measurements.

What is the purpose of the electrolyte challenge project?

What materials do you need to create the conductance sensor?

Explain the importance of ensuring that the loose pieces of wire do not touch each other during the experiment.

How do you set up the multimeter for measuring current in this project?

Describe how the amount of current flowing is related to the amount of electrolytes in the liquid.

What steps should you take between trials with different liquids to ensure accurate readings?

What should you do if your multimeter is reading zero?
