| Summary: | At Camborne College in Cornwall, they believe in the power of data logging to bring traditional experiments alive for their pupils.Teacher Paul Preece demonstrates a classic combustion experiment to his Year 7s with data loggers showing in real time exactly what's happening inside the bell jar. His Year 8s use sound sensors connected to hand-held PDAs to investigate sound levels, and his Year 9s investigate the motion of a trolley rolling down a sloping ramp with the aid of light gates. At Salendine Nook High School in Huddersfield, head of science Chris Mason and his Year 11s investigate rates of reaction with the help of the extensive curriculum resources that the science department has put up on the school's VLE. Pete Hoskins at Westborough High School in West Yorkshire is working with a class of Year 7s for whom writing and reading pose problems, so he uses simple animations and visual comic strip presentations so they can describe their investigations in a more visual way.
