A compendium of CPD and ITE activities on why we use sensors and the practicalities of implementing their use

Lesson idea. “Data logging in-service” is a collection of activities used for numerous in-service days and courses. Some will find a place in teacher education or CPD courses. No-one ever used all of these activities, but some of them may provoke discussion or offer a head-start in designing some variation.

Teaching approach. Activities and advice for using ICT(i) for use in inquiry(i) based learning and the scientific method(i).
