Teaching Data Logging as a Process

Data Logging is happening in each of the above examples. Traffic intersections log the number of vehicles travelling in each direction as well as the numbers of vehicles at each light interval. Manufacturing systems log every aspect of the manufacturing process. Shippers monitor the temperature and other environmental conditions of their cargo and the humidity is often considered in long term storage solutions. Continue reading

Data-Logging and the Student – A Bridge to Analytical Thinking

Consider taking your lab outside! In this setting a student can observe, with his or her senses, the changes in wind speed, the humidity in the air, smells, sounds, and even relative temperature; in short, the student can observe data around them. Data gathered in this manner has lead to the development of important scientific theories and breakthroughs. Continue reading
