Data Logging and Sensors

Start with data logging

The mind map Data Logging is a useful place to begin. It brings together sensors, time intervals and data analysis, alongside remote logging and examples from hospitals. Follow its branches to see how the ideas fit together, then explain the connections in your own words.

Next, look at Data Logging, Weather and Control Systems. Its data logging branches describe readings taken automatically over time and a logging period that can be changed. Compare those points with the time interval branch in the first map.

Explore sensors and systems

Several maps are titled Sensors. You can also look at Organizations: Environment, which connects sensors with regular readings and data analysis. Use these maps alongside each other to trace the path from detecting a physical quantity to analyzing the resulting data.

The page also lists Data Logging and Weather Forecasting Systems. Its data logging section covers automatic readings and changing the logging period. Use it to compare how different maps present similar ideas.

Connect the maps to the unit

This topic sits within the Computing and ICT unit on data, information and data handling. The maps connect to that unit by showing how sensor readings are collected as data and how data can be analyzed to become information.

There are no quizzes listed on this page. To combine a map with quiz practice, use a free account to make your own quiz from the map's branches. You can also use the account to save quiz scores and make mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Choose a map, follow a branch and turn its key points into questions for practice.
