Experiments Online

Science Online offers you a wealth of datalogging ideas and data from school projects plus research findings from professional scientists. You can download the data, repeat many of the investigations and contact many of the scientists who have contributed their research.

If you'd like Science Online to publish your investigations send details and datafiles (including information about equipment used and file formats) to scienceonline@actis.co.uk
