Why is this important?
Hands-on, student-led data collection transforms science from something students read about into something they actively do. When students use tools (digital or analog) to gather real-time data—on motion, temperature, force, or acceleration—they’re not just learning about scientific concepts, they’re experiencing them firsthand. This inquiry driven approach fosters student led discovery, deeper understanding, encourages curiosity, and builds critical thinking skills as students design investigations, make observations, and draw conclusions based on their own evidence.
