Ssi Report 2

This document discusses using data logging technology to measure color brightness in a science class experiment. It describes how data logging works by using sensors, an interface box, and computer software to measure and record data over time, then display it in graphs or tables. The conclusion is that data logging benefits both teachers and students by helping students develop problem-solving skills and giving them insight into how scientists work.

Introduction

The fast growing technology has influences the direction of learning process
especially in science practical or laboratory class. The practical activity in science
such as experiment have always been observation and measurement. So, we are
exposed to a variety of instruments that can observe and measure. A collection of
results are known as data and will presented in graph and table form. Currently, by
using modern computer we can assist this process of handling data that we called as
“data logging”. Data logging is a process of measuring and recording data over a
period of time via a data-logger and sensors. This process is controlled by software
running on a computer or on a data-logger itself. By using the appropriate software,
data can be displayed in various forms, including graphics for visual interpretation.

Usually during science theory classes, students do not have the opportunity to verify
the appropriateness of the information that the teacher is putting forward. The use of
ICT which incorporates data logging will significantly ease the situation as students
will be able to develop logical understanding of the abstract concept and at the same
time, obtain confirmation on the truthfulness of the underlying processes. Other
benefit for students by using data logging is it can measure several physical quantities
at a time because to measure changes in physical quantities with commonly-used
apparatus is difficult and need more than one student to handle. So, these drawbacks
are overcome with data logging. Furthermore, by using data logging we can measure
the changes that are difficult to measure. For example, the temperature of a small
quantity of liquid, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation or the signal emitted or
received by a mobile phone.
There are a few basic parts of data logging system. First is sensor device that responds
to some physical property of the environment include temperature, pressure, light
intensity, sound, position, magnetic flux, voltage, current, etc. Next is interface box
that function to convert the voltage signal of the sensor to a digital signal, which can
be read by the computer. An interface box is similar to a modem. The interface is
connected to the computer via a serial port of the computer. Other part is computer
with appropriate software. Specialised computer software is required so that the
computer can interpret and process the signals from the interface box. Among the
functions performed by this software, it manages the storage, display, and analysis of
data. Data can be displayed in a suitable form on the screen. This could take the form
of tables, numerical values in the form of large digits. The computer software is also
capable of data handling, i.e. the plotting of graphs, curve fitting, statistical
manipulation, etc.

Conclusion

We can conclude that data logger bring benefits to both teachers and students in
teaching and learning. Thus, we as a future science teacher should be able to
implement data logger in school because it helps students to develop problem-solving
skills and encourages students to question, predict and hypothesise about the results of
their laboratory practical work. It also important for students to get an insight into
how scientists work and this should be reflected in the classroom. Knowledge and
familiarity with new technologies also help students for their future careers in the
technological industries and it is important that students are equipped for the
technology-rich world in which they live. It is clear that the used of data logger in
learning process give benefits to the learners especially students.
