Arduino Science Journal 1.3.4
The Arduino Science Journal is one of the BETT Award 2021 Finalistin the "FREE DIGITAL CONTENT OR OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES"category. The Arduino Science Journal (formerly Science Journal, aninitiative by Google) is free and open-source, and allows you togather data about the world around you by harnessing the sensors inyour smartphone as well as sensors connected to Arduino, or otherthird party hardware. The Science Journal transforms smartphones,tablets, and Chromebooks into science notebooks that encouragestudents to explore their world. The Arduino Science Journal app isrecommended for students from 10 to 18 years of age, and isavailable in 45 languages. About the Science Journal With theArduino Science Journal, you can learn interactively, conductexperiments and iterate on findings. • 💪 Enhance your existinglesson plans: use the Science Journal with activities andassignments you have already prepared • ✏️ Classroom &home-school friendly: you don’t have to be in a classroom settingto start exploring. The Arduino Science Journal can be used to runexperiments straight away, as long as you have your smartphone ortablet with you! • 🌱 Move learning outside: the use of mobiledevices along with the types of experiments we offer encouragestudents to get out of their seats and open their eyes to the worldaround them through the power of science • 🔍 Science and data haveno secrets: you can easily record your observations, store yourdata sensors in real-time and analyse them, just as a properscientist! • 🔄 Connect the digital and the physical world from yourpocket: go through a series of simple tutorials and start havingfun with science It transforms different devices such assmartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks, into a pocket-size sciencetool that encourages you to explore your world. As students conductexperiments, they’ll record observations and make new, excitingdiscoveries. Through documentation and reflections, students canconduct experiments just like any other scientist. You can use theapp as it is, using the sensors included in your smartphone ortablet, or use external hardware like sensors and microcontrollersthat are compatible with bluetooth connections, to run moredemanding experiments. By using external sensors, the students canextend their experimentation and learning. For a more in-depthexperience of the world of science, the app comes with differenttopic-related lessons - available for students and teachers alike!The app is classroom-friendly, since students can sign in on anydevice and access their experiments to continue exploring theworld, wherever they are! Permissions notice: • 📍Location: Neededto scan for Bluetooth sensor devices. • 📷 Camera: Needed to takepictures to document experiments. • 🎙Microphone: Needed for soundintensity sensor. • 📥Storage: Needed to access photos to insertinto experiments. Benefits of using the Arduino Science Journal •It’s free and simple to use • Easy setup: download the app andstart exploring with your phone’s built-in sensors •Cross-platform: supports Android, iOS, and Chromebooks • Portable:enhance your home learning or bring your device outside to studythe world around you • Safe for children to use: COPPA Complianceunderway • Fully compatible with Arduino hardware: keepexperimenting with the Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab, as well asthe Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board • Compatible with third-partyhardware • Fully open-source: you can develop your own hardwaresupport as the app is open-source • Google Drive integration(coming soon), as well as local download
