Data Harvest Group Ltd.37 practical datalogging activities designed to cover data logging opportunities in teaching the core Physics curriculum from entry up to the GCSE years.
This eBook, supplied on CD-ROM, contains:
- The full eBook (PDF) of all the experiment worksheets and teachers notes.
- Every worksheet and teacher note as a separate PDF
- Setup files to match these experiments are included in the Free EasySense software.
With comprehensive teacher's notes, these teaching materials cover the cover the main themes of:
- Nature of electricity and circuits.
- Introductory kinematics (velocity, acceleration)
- Induction.
- Heat
- Levers and pulleys
- Floating and sinking.
The range of practical experiments are:
- Comparing fuels
- Electricity from water power
- Electricity from wind
- Making electricity from sunlight
- How hot does the water get from the sun?
- What changes current in a circuit?
- How does adding lamps in series affect the current?
- Can you use bulb brightness to measure current?
- Electric current in circuits – Series circuits
- Electric current in circuits – Parallel circuits
- Electric current in circuits – Current and voltage in series circuits
- Fuses – Do fuses blow at their rated current?
- Fuses – What happens if an over current is applied?
- What decides if something floats or sinks?
- How does up thrust change as an object sinks further into a liquid?
- Up thrust and floating
- How do different materials stretch?
- Investigating friction – static friction
- Investigating friction – dynamic friction
- How does the strength of an electromagnet vary with an increasing current?
- How does coiling a wire affect the strength of the electromagnet?
- What happens if an alternating current is used to make an electromagnet?
- Reflections
- How does the intensity of light change with the distance from the light?
- What happens to the brightness of a bulb as voltage is changed?

If your school is serious about improving children’s science investigation skills then data logging will certainly help with this process. It’s fairly inexpensive, easy to use and robust when using outside of class so can cope if little hands do drop the unit.
