A compendium with numerous ideas for using sensors to teach science.

Lesson idea. A book of ideas showing the scope for using sensors to measure in science. Drawing on many sources, it catalogues the sensors available and suggests what they might be used for. There are not only classic and novel school experiments but also ideas to investigate, such as ‘which fabric keeps us warmest?’ Though this manual appeared at a time when teachers were asking ‘what do I use the technology for’, it also aimed to show how sensors can enhance science teaching. Some of the ideas from this book are collected on our page with data logging ideas.

Teaching approach. This book provides a set of resources and lesson ideas with ICT(i) as a key focus for use in inquiry(ta) based learning and the scientific method(ta). It offers opportunities for use of group work(ta) and collaboration(ta) as well as whole class(ta) questioning(ta). (edit)
