Welcome to the new packed ‘Dataloggerama’ where we been collecting classroom uses of technology since 1992. But now we’ve added dozens experiments from our very popular books and dozens of podcasts about science careers. We’ll be adding more pictures and adding four more books of ideas throughout 2019.
Scroll down for the recording. Additional notes by Roger Frost – with thanks to Dr Freemantle. The First World War, that began in 1914, put chemists to work. Their chemicals could harm as well as...

From the 1990’s to the 2000’s here are pictures of a collection of labs, data loggers, sensors and experiments. You’ll see different solutions to labs, different colorimeters and different ways to measure acceleration. Yes,...
When it is icy they put salt onto the roads to melt the ice. What the salt does is to depress, or reduce, the freezing point of water. The result is that the ice...
Batteries are a handy source of power. Just think of all the things that use them – calculators, cassette players, even computers will run on batteries. You’ll know that there are different kinds of...
Radioactive materials decay, or lose their radioactivity, in a predictable way. If you have a fast decaying source, such as Protactinium with a half life of just 72 seconds, you can take a series...
You can use a temperature sensor to study the conduction of heat through materials. Two temperature sensors allow you to compare different materials at the same time. In this example, you heat strips of...
You can use a temperature sensor to study the insulating properties of materials. Two temperature sensors allow you to compare different materials at the same time. In this example two beakers of hot water...
Measuring the appearance of cloudy sulfur when we mix acid and sodium thiosulfate is a popular science teaching activity. We can change the temperature or concentration of the reagents, and see whether the mixture...
A lot of people use science at work and more so here in Cambridge, England. We started interviewing them for our radio show from 2011 up until 2014 and here they are. While us interviewers...
We’ve recorded dozens of scientists and entrepreneurs talking about what their work involves. We hear from experts in Cambridge, England as they talk about their inventions, discoveries and interests. We shout to twitter @105science.
Perhaps someone once asked, who is Roger Frost? He’s a writer who used to collect ideas to teach science which this web aims to record. Over twenty years, Roger Frost ran ICT and science training...
rogerfrost.com is a compendium of ideas for using technology in schools. It shows teachers how to use IT to find things out. You’ll find more questions about science itself than answers.
Now retired, Roger Frost was a copywriter and journalist so as well as classroom activities, you’ll stumble on articles from wayback when.
Please use or link to anything or credit this. No money changes hands here. And let’s know if you’ve a contribution to improve its usefulness.
