from all previous versions of Insight software to Datalogging Insight |
Datalogging Insight is a uniquely powerful and intuitive datalogging software package.While being affordable
to schools it offers the functionality and practical potential needed to fulfil the Science Curriculum
requirements for Investigative Skills at Key Stage 3 & 4.
An integrated package supporting practical work by:
- Collecting and recording data from sensors
- Displaying data in graphical formats
- Analysing data through interactive tools
- Modelling experimental data for investigation
- Explaining research strategies to aid interpretation.
Datalogging Insight is designed to exploit the distinctive properties of continuous, simultaneous and event driven measurements. The software is ideally suited to Science investigations requiring measurement because it simplifies many aspects of collecting and displaying data and encourages exploration and initiative.
Datalogging Insight offers a unique system for building models, enabling students to understand the theory behind their
experiments. The graphical and table analysis tools allow clear and easy exploration of a model�s properties.
Students are able to represent and communicate qualitative and quantitative data with the help of visual aids such as diagrams, tables, charts and graphs.
Datalogging Insight allows students to view their data with a range of features designed to help them focus on experimental data and look for patterns and trends.This is achieved by colour coding of the different data sets on graphs, zoom effects and captioning. Results from a range of sensors can simultaneously be displayed within the same screen, encouraging understanding of the
relationships between data sets.
Datalogging Insight comprises the following elements:
- Sample Datafiles
Ready for classroom activities using ready-made data (no sensing equipment necessary).
- Datalogging Insight
- For recording and graphing signals continuously from analogue sensors
- The timing of events and measuring the motion of moving objects using digital sensors
- Handling numerical and text data entered through the keyboard
- For building formulae and mathematical models Insight Laboratory
- Interactive tutorials explaining datalogging and modelling techniques
- Interactive screen guides to a range of practical experiments.
Teaching and Learning Guide
- Teachers' notes and ideas for Activities.
- Program Guide
- Detailed explanations of the programs and how to use them.
- Quick Reference Card
- Prompts for setting up and for using analysing and modelling tools.
Datalogging Insight supports teachers by:
- Allowing the whole class to observe experimental effects on a bold and colourful screen display
- Using the computer's 'real-time' display process to speed up discussion of the results
- Providing analysis aids and curve-fitting facilities to simplify the process of searching for patterns and meaning in results
- Allowing easy interchange between the graph, table, chart and model displays
- Minimising the need for complex instructions by using intuitive operating features
- Providing a Program Guide that gives full technical instructions for using the software.
