The software issued with the Pasco interface |

|
Why was this work undertaken?
|
This is often the clearest way of looking at an experiment eg when time intervals are short.
|
How was it developed?
|
Range of experiments identified, then sensors selected and software adapted.
|
What was the impact on pupils' learning?
|
More time spent on discussing the results and relationships rather than gathering results. "What if" questions can be explored.
|
Hardware/software requirements and useful linked
websites.
|
An interface is required - there is a variety available but not all have the high sample rate required for Physics. PASCO produces hardware and software suitable for Physics.
