Key Stage 2
Meaning
A data logger is a small computer that can be used to measure the temperature of an object, the volume of sound or the brightness of light.
About Data Loggers
- Data loggers have different probes that can be attached to measure different things. The probes you may use at Key Stage 2 are a temperature probe, a probe that measures how loud sounds are and a probe that can measure how bright the light is.
Examples
- A scientist measured the temperature of the snow.
- A scientist measured the sound volume at a cinema.
- A scientist wants to measure the brightness of a light in their laboratory.
Used in a Sentence
- A data logger and temperature probe was used to measure the temperature of the snow.
- The sound volume of the cinema was found using a data logger and sound probe.
- The scientist's data logger and light probe showed the brightness of the light in the laboratory.
Key Stage 3
Meaning
A data logger is a small computer that can be attached to different sensors to measure different physical quantities over time.
About Data Loggers
- Data loggers have different sensors that can be attached to measure different things.
- The sensors you may use are:
- A temperature sensor.
- A sensor which measures the volume of sound.
- A that can measure how bright the light is.
- Light Gates which can measure the speed of an object and the time taken between the light gates.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
A data logger is a small computer that can be attached to different sensors to measure different physical quantities over time.
About Data Loggers
- Data loggers have different sensors that can be attached to measure different things.
- The sensors you may use are:
- A temperature sensor.
- A sensor which measures the volume of sound.
- A that can measure how bright the light is.
- Light Gates which can measure the speed of an object and the time taken between the light gates.
