Data logging is an ICT medium that can be used to enhance the delivery of the curriculum.
For example in one of our science sessions at university, we used data loggers to measure and record the temperature of water with ice cubes and salt to see the effect of salt on temperature.
Data logging can be useful in science practical work as it:
• Measures physical properties such as light, heat, sound and acidity.
• Is a speedy and easy method of data capture
• Provides an immediate link between the investigation and the result. Pairs real time events with their symbolic representation
• Provides time for pupils to observe and think about the experiment, rather than spending all their time recording data
• Enables children to discuss the different aspects of a graph (e.g. gradient)
