Exemplars using Sensors
Teachers involved in Discover Sensors have created a number of practical examples of how the sensor equipment as software can be used for investigations. They are designed so that you can set the simple investigations up and become familiar with the various sensors, connecting to the data-loggers and using the graphs. These Exemplars are different from the Learning Activities in that they focus on the technology rather than the use of the Investigative Framework.
More information on the various sensors and how they are set up is available in Sensor Equipment.
