EDUC 6470 Week 10

Using technology in the classroom

Using HOBO data loggers live in the class

• Light
• Temperature
• Acceleration

Activity for April 7

• Meet in Mann Library Computer Lab B30A.
• Launch HOBO measuring temperature and light in lab every 15 seconds for next 20 minutes.
• Split class into 4 groups of pairs:

	Questions about refrigerator	Questions about solar cooker
Answer given questions
Generate own questions

• Have pairs report to whole group findings and perhaps relevant learning issues
• Get data from logger
• Apply lessons from discussion to this new data set as a whole class.

Different ways students can get active with the technology, for the purposes of learning science, not just the technology

Measure something arbitrary

• With accelerometer, measure acceleration while spinning.

Measure something historically important to science

• Measure change in temperature of a calorimeter.
