We have listened to your wish list for datalogging equipment and have developed the Log-Box based on your feedback so that you can afford to buy more than one per class.

• All the sensors are in-built (temperature, light and sound) and clearly labelled to avoid confusion
• Specifically designed for smaller hands to hold easily
• Robust design that can withstand outdoor fieldwork
• A neck strap to free up hands when working outside
• Recordings are easy to view and read with our software
• Choose how data is displayed in graph, bar chart, chart or table formats
• Includes a plug-in temperature probe, but is also compatible with other external sensors available
• Information can be downloaded via USB.

Science Curriculum Links - KS2 - Working Scientifically

• Making systematic and careful observations and, where appropriate, taking accurate measurements using standard units, using a range of equipment, including thermometers and data loggers
• Learn how to use new equipment, such as data loggers, appropriately

Science Teaching Ideas

• Materials and their properties - use the temperature probe in experiments on what material makes the best insulator. Wrap the materials around beakers of warm water and measure the changing temperature of the water over periods of time.
• Minibeasts - Test the soil temperature in different areas of the outdoor environment and compare the different types of plants and minibeasts that can be found there.
• Light - Compare the brightness of different light sources.
• Sound - Compare the volume of different sound sources or compare materials muffling sound.

Note: The Log-Box requires a 9V PP3 battery for portable use (not supplied).
