Arduino Science Journal for Android

11 things about Arduino Science Journal

1. The Arduino Science Journal (formerly Science Journal, an initiative by Google) is free and allows you to gather data about the world around you by harnessing the sensors in your smartphone as well as sensors connected to Arduino.

2. With the Arduino Science Journal, you can learn interactively, conduct experiments and iterate on findings.

3. Together with the external hardware, (not included with the app), students are enabled to conduct more complex experiments, and advance in their scientific studies.

4. • Photo Library: needed to store pictures taken to document experiments and for adding existing photos from your library to experiments.

5. As long as the external sensors are compatible with a Bluetooth-connecting device such as a microcontroller, there is no end to what experiments the students can make.

6. The Science Journal transforms smartphones and tablets into science notebooks that encourage students to explore their world.

7. If you’re an educator with a Google Classroom account, you can also subscribe to the Teacher Plan, which allows you to integrate the app with Google Classroom and share this integration with your students.

8. You can then create assignments, templates, and experiments in the app and import existing classes from Google Classroom.

9. The Arduino Science Journal app is recommended for students from 10 to 18 years of age.

10. • Camera: needed to take pictures to document experiments and for the brightness sensor.

11. With built-in device sensors as well as external hardware, you can measure light, sound, movement, and much more.
