|content=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, there are 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 could enhance science teaching. Some of the ideas from this book are collected on [[Data_logging_ideas|our page with data logging ideas]].

* can analyse their graph data, such as compute areas or plot a differential of a change
* Analysing their graph data, such as compute areas or plot a differential of a change.
* can state what a graph tells them about a change
* Stating what a graph shows about a change.
* say how a graph tells them what is happening
