...Better Science Trought Data Logging...

Based on what I had learned about a data logger, we can see that it can give us many benefits especially to teachers and students. When we use a data logger in teaching a science subjects, the students will better understand in scientific experimentation and science concepts. Why I said so? This is because, by using data logger, it more precise and systematic in conduct the experiment. Furthermore, it can make more fun and attractive in doing an experiment. This data logger can measure the reading in every second where is out of our ability to do that. So it can give us more accurately result. Besides, it can use more than one sensor that we want to test but not more than four sensors. For example, we can identify the relationship between pressure and temperature over the time in spontaneously by using pressure and temperature sensors. We also can transfer the data into the computer where the graph can be built from it automatically. Indirectly, we can get more than one graph in one piece of paper with the table of results. Additionally, the students can see the real situation when conduct the experiment and related it based on the result. It make student more understand about the experiment and the topic that continuity to it. Other than that, by using data logger it can shorten our time in teaching that topic. The student can identify the relationship when they see on the graph and can make conclusion directly from it. But at first we as a teacher must briefing about the topic that related with experiment before the students start the experiment by using a data logger. How the teacher can make student more attractive to do the experiment? By give them some issue in context of catchy title. The student must be confuse and wonder to know what the meaning of that title. Then, the teacher can give some question to elicit their prior knowledge about the topic. It can make student excited to know more about that and start to explore it by do the experiment. After they had done experiment, the teacher can enhance their knowledge by make they think in asking them an application question. From the steps, we can see it is wonderful learning session and give a friendly environment to student in learn the topic. The student also will enjoy do the experiment and it will keep at their memory in long last term.
