Making sense of primary science

The natural successor to Junior Datalogging Insight, iLOG Junior takes Primary Datalogging to a new level. A host of experiments can quickly be conducted using data-logging interfaces or sensors, and using it on an interactive whiteboard, a whole class can observe experimental results.

iLOG Junior is designed to make data-logging attractive, fun and rewarding for pupils.

The software can be used to collect, display and analyse live data as well as previously collected data from a remote interface. It works with many sensor inputs, including Light, Sound, Motion, Humidity, Voltage and Current.

iLOG Junior works with a wide range of manufacturers’ hardware. It supports over 40 data-logging interfaces – old and new - helping you maximise the effectiveness of your existing hardware.

A unique movie window lets you link the data, or the sensors, to engaging animations that appeal to younger children. By using these animations pupils are motivated to explore sensing, timing & modelling imaginatively; to contemplate the meaning of graphs, shapes, patterns & trends and use measurement to investigate science.

Using the new ‘virtual logger’ pupils can simulate logging onscreen - drawing data from a built-in library of sample files or from online sources - without the need for hardware.

iLOG Junior is supported by a wealth of resources to help pupils gain confidence using the software.

The Welcome Wizard, unique to iLOG Junior, helps pupils and teachers get results with minimum of fuss: setting up experiments, collecting and observing data, measuring motion and animating cartoon movies. It also contains a series of demonstration videos.

The software incorporates an extensive library of sample files:

• 24 set-up files - complete with onscreen instructions - allowing pupils to get started with experiments quickly
• 20 sample data files - useful for practice in using the analysis tools and interpreting data.  Example topics include: Temperature Control, Speed and Timing, Colour and Light Reflection, Sound Absorption and more
• 16 cartoon movie files – fun activities for learning to use sensors and to understand graphs.
