Data Logger CPD

On the 20th October, Science for Life organised for science leads and class teachers to attend professional development about how to use data loggers. This was delivered by the director of Data Harvest: Lee Grahame.

All participants reported an increased level of skill/knowledge following the training. Teachers reported that they would make use of the data loggers to teach the following topics:

Year 1: Seasons

Year 3: Light

Year 4: Sound

Year 6: Electricity

They also had the following to say.

'The clear modelling of how to use the data loggers and associated software was most useful.'

'I found it valuable to learn how to collect data over time.'

'The information was easy to follow, practical and well-explained.'

'I will initially use the data loggers with a Year 5 and 6 science club.'

'I will be able to use the different settings on the data loggers to differentiate learning.'

'I will use the line graphs and tables during the next class investigation.'

'I will lead staff INSET on how to use the data loggers.'
