Science Journal App

Target Audience: All ages

Picture

​"Science Journal is a tool for doing science with your smartphone. You can use the sensors in your phone or connect to external sensors to conduct experiments on the world around you. Organize your ideas into projects, make predictions, take notes and collect data in multiple trials, then annotate and explore your results. It's the lab notebook you always have with you." (Source)

"Measure sound, light, and more using the sensors in your Android phone. Google refers to the Science Journal app as a pocket science laboratory because it allows students to measure data in real time using a phone. Sensors record ambient light (lux), intensity of sound in decibels (dB), and acceleration of the phone moving in three planes (m/s2). Students can design their own experiments and use Science Journal to collect and annotate data.
Google provides Getting Started activities on their Making & Science website. 

These activities are printable and will help acclimate students to the different tools available in the Science Journal app. Once the students get started they can build a project and save multiple trials to compare." (Source)
