Datalogging
This page contains a wide range of resources relating to using datalogging to enhance your teaching of GCSE Physics. There are materials to help the novice get started and also resources that will help established users extend their practice.
You will find
- Useful background information on the use of ICT in science and on the selection of appropriate equipment and systems.
- Worksheets and instruction sheets for using datalogging in several practical contexts, including investigating:
- sound waves
- electromagnetic induction
- motion.
- Links to resources matched to GCSE Physics specifications, including materials from the Institute of Physics. Some of these sites (such as Practical Physics, produced by the Institute of Physics) are very comprehensive and support a wide range of topics and activities. Others are more specific – for example, there is a link to an Ofsted report about the importance of ICT and an article on innovative use of datalogging from Loughborough University.
If you cannot find what you want in the listed resources, enter keywords from your specification in the Search box on the right. Reduce the number of ‘hits’ by using inverted commas to search for phrases.
