The booklet is essentially about collecting and interpreting first-hand data from experiments using sensors and data logging equipment. The activities utilize equipment such as sensors, audio and video recorders, and available (often free) software to collect and analyse a wide variety of data. SEP has supported the Centre for Science Education at Sheffield Hallam University in the production of this publication.

Further resources can be downloaded from the ‘ICT in practical science: new approaches to data collection and analysis’ page on the SEP website, including an electronic version of the booklet. (Access is for SEP Teacher Associates - this scheme is free to join for science teachers and technicians in UK secondary schools.)
