Description

In this unit, pupils will consider how and why data is collected. They will explore how sensors monitor the environment. Pupils will collect data as well as access data captured over long periods. They will look at data points, data sets, logging intervals and use a computer to analyse data.

Pupils build on their understanding of how data can be collected over time to provide deeper insights. This unit introduces automatic data collection, showing how sensors can act as input devices to monitor the environment in ways similar to human senses. Understanding why and how data is gathered over time prepares pupils for more advanced work in data logging, analysis, and interpreting patterns in later years, across a wide range of real-world applications.
