This sample of a teacher guide shows how the Lego NXT programmable brick can be used with compatible sensors as a versatile data logging kit. It contains examples of data logging in the wider world to help students engage with the topic, and guidance for simple investigative activities that link to science, computing and engineering. These include activities on: • Measuring light and sound intensity • Testing reaction times • Coding and data transmission Practical tips for data logging are also provided, for remote recording or live logging to a computer. For data logging using Lego NXT, the educational version of the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 software is required.
