Applying Sensors to IBL / STEM / STEAM by prem chandran https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd Inquiry-Based Learning en-us 2018-03-06 11:53:01 UTC 2025-12-08 14:25:40 UTC hello@padlet.com 2) What sort of scaffolding do you as a teacher provide for your students to apply sensors to IBL? premchandran_pc https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/243873162 2018-03-20 08:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/243873162 1) How can your students learn about what a sensor can do? As their teacher, how do you scaffold their learning? premchandran_pc https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/243874003 2018-03-20 08:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/243874003 3) How can you REDEFINE the learning experience of your students by applying sensors to your subject? premchandran_pc https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277512121 2018-09-04 12:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277512121 1) I would begin by asking my students to discuss the different sensors they see in their everyday life (eg. Toilet automatic lights/flush or automated doors) https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824792 2018-09-05 03:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824792 Focus on the learning not the tools https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824805 Students need not learn about what sensors can do but rather the data collected and how they can analyse the data for meaningful learning. An example would be to use the data for establishing cause-effect relationship.]]> 2018-09-05 03:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824805 1) https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824807 Compare readings between different sensors (esp. for phone-based sensors on the Google Science Journal) (Sarah, Geography/EL)]]> 2018-09-05 03:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824807 1) Allow them to explore the features of the sensors by themselves first. https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824822 2018-09-05 03:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824822 Think abt the design of lesson https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824923 1) It is necessary to pique students' curiosity before allowing them to explore how sensors could be used. Allow for time to explore.

2) we would need to design experiments and craft activities that allow students to think of how to measure the intended quantities. However, the challenge is to find such a timeslot. Practical constraints suggest that we may be able to more of such exploratory activities during lower secondary years. ]]> 2018-09-05 03:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824923 3) https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824942 Use thingful.net to investigate weather conditions around the world - especially unfolding weather conditions such as drought (Sarah, Geography)]]> 2018-09-05 03:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277824942 Self-directed learning https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277825039 1) They can investigate daily phenomenon and data collection
2) They can experience the scientific method in an informal setting
3) I would like to see how I can connect disciplines through these apps]]> 2018-09-05 03:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277825039 https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277825048 3) For biology experiments, we usually explore how light intensity affects photosynthesis, by varying distance of plant from light source. But using sensors, we can translate the theory to a visible data.]]> 2018-09-05 03:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/277825048 Science Innovation Week https://padlet.com/premchandran_pc/jn44bgxcz7xd/wish/283239845 Students can investigate real-life scenario to come up with a product/toy to solve the problem.
