IV. USING LABQUEST 2 WITH A MOBILE DEVICE
As part of the Connected Science System
®
, LabQuest 2 serves as a Data Sharing source that can
wirelessly stream sensor data to Data Sharing apps on mobile devices such as iPad
®
and
Android™ tablets.
How Data Sharing Works
• Students in a lab group set up an experiment with Vernier sensors and a Data Sharing
source.
• Students use a Data Sharing app to wirelessly start data collection.
• Experiment data is streamed from the Data Sharing source to each student’s Data Sharing
app.
• Each lab group member performs an individual analysis on their Data Sharing app.
• Students take their data and analysis home on the Data Sharing app for further analysis
and lab reports.
