Introduction
Data logging is use in measuring and recording of physical or electrical parameters over a period of time. common parameter of measurement that were used for data logging system.
Temperature, strain, voltage, current, pressure, force, and acceleration.

Cont
Contain three main components that are sensor, data logger hardware and computer.

APPLICATION OF DATA LOGGING IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

can motivate and increase interest of pupils and teachers to learn and teach sciences Advantages of using data logger over recording data manually.

measurements are always taken at the right time. Humans can make parallax errors graphs and tables are produced automatically by the data logging software

Melting & Boiling point

A) ENGAGING PHASE

The 2 pictures are displayed Asking question to relate the picture displayed with the topic learned.

B) EMPOWER PHASE
Title : melting and boiling point of a substance
Objectives: In this experiment, you will use a computer to measure temperature analyze graphs of your data to determine the freezing and melting temperatures of water determine the relationship between the freezing and melting temperatures of water

Materials Used:

Ice cube, 250 mL beaker, bunsen burner, temperature probe (sensor), interface box and computer

Procedure: 1. Place the ice in the 250 mL beaker 2. Place the temperature sensor in the ice. 3. Connect the sensor to an interface box linked to the computer as shown in figure 3.

Figure 3

4. Click the start button. Observe any transition process and the temperature they start to change. 5. When all the ice melts, continue the experiment by placing Bunsen burner below the beaker for heating the water as in figure 4

6. Click the Statistics button. The temperature value for the selected data is listed in the statistics box on the graph.

Based on the data obtained from data logger, students are ask to fulfill the following table and identify the phase of experiment for every 30 seconds. They also must discuss why there has a flat line in the graph. The results are in table below:

C. ENHANCE Students are group into 5 and every group is given a same case study to be discuss in a group. The case study is what happen to the heating curve if salt is added into the water. Discuss .

D. CLOSURE Students are asking to flashback what they had done in the class.

CONCLUSION
Data loggers help in better understanding of scientific experimentation. Other than that, the used of data logger for determination the state of matter can be more accurate.
