Learning stations with Cobra SMARTsense (outdoor)

Principle

The handling of the PHYWE experiment case is very intuitive. Since exact results and measured values are important in science, the students should be familiarized with the individual sensors of the Cobra SMARTsense system in group work to prepare them for the applications of contemporary measurement techniques in higher grades.

Benefits

• experiment is part of a complete solution with numerous experiments in the field of ecology
• Measurements possible indoors and outdoors, for mobile use
• Especially understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life, etc.) including protocol questions.
• Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones.
• Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP.
• Increased media competence.

Tasks

Students use the Cobra SMARTsense system to measure conductivity, pH, weather parameters such as air pressure, air temperature and humidity, brightness and temperature in soil and water.

Learning Objectives

The students should learn the correct handling of scientific experiments and the Cobra SMARTsense sensors.
