 A manual for
using sensors and data logging software with pupils aged 11-18
This definitive book on using sensors in science teaching has ideas and activities for
all makes of computer, sensors and software There are over 50 experiment sheets with
science investigations and control technology mini-projects.
Data logging and Control illustrates the many aspects of science which can be explored
with sensors. It is a practical guide and a bank of ideas showing what data logging and
control is and where it fits into your work.
Investigations and experiments
The book aims to show how sensors help young scientists both to measure and to
investigate in science. It provides teacher and pupil guides to finding out how we can
keep warm, what sound can travel through or what colour clothing a cyclist should wear. It
also provides details of how to do many new and classic experiments such as studying
germination, radioactive decay or rates of reactions. The ideas are applicable to any
system or computer you might have. You will find details on all the sensors available and
what they can be used for. There is a glossary, a guide to assessment and a topic by topic
index. Data logging and Control is the science teacher's definitive reference book for
using sensors in science. While this is essentially a book about data logging, examples of
using sensors with control technology are also included and particularly where this
impinges on science teaching.
A companion volume The IT in Secondary Science Book covers the uses of other
IT tools while Data logging in Practice deals with the practicalities of
implementing data logging in science teaching.
What they said about it

". .. indeed the whole book is outstanding in its comprehensive nature, its
potential appeal to even the less experienced of teachers, its layout and language."
