• Data logging also can measure the changes that
are difficult to measure. For example, the
temperature of a small quantity of liquid,
infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation or the

Enhance
• Enhance is the concepts
students learned before were
applied in their real life.
• Usage of signboard especially
road signboard.
• Usage of road line.
Extension
• Extension is the ways where we
want to test either the students
understand or not about the
concept explained.
• To find the whether fabrics look
as bright in the evening.
• To predict the images using color
perspex.
Conclusion
• Data logger bring benefits to both teachers and students in
teaching and learning.

• Data logger helps students to develop problem-solving

skills and encourages students to question, predict and
hypothesise about the results of their laboratory practical
work.

• It also important for students to get an insight into how

scientists work.

• Knowledge and familiarity with new technologies also

help students for their future careers in the technological
industries and it is important that students are equipped
for the technology-rich world in which they live.
