Data Collection Tool Showcase
Connections:
In this activity, you will explore several tech tools that can be used to collect both qualitative and quantitative data to ultimately improve engineered designs.
Objective(s):
- Explore tools for data collection in engineering design experiences.
- Plan for the completion of the Tech Lab training in Cycle 1.
Data Collection in the Classroom:
Technology has made it easier than ever for teachers and students to get their hands on real data they can use to better understand the design problem and test and improve their designs.
There are a variety of tools available for classroom data use. They allow teachers and students to collect, manipulate, analyze and visualize large sets of real data in their classrooms that can aid in designing solutions to complex problems and improving engineered designs.
The Zipline Returns
Let's look at an example of the use of data collection tools in an engineering design experience.
As you watch Video 1, consider: How do the data collection tools enhance the students’ ability to design the best zipline experience?
