Definition - Data Logging
•The
process
of using a computer to collect data through
sensors, analyze the data and save and output the results of the collection and
analysis. Data logging also implies the control of how the computer collects
and analyzes the data.
•Data
logging is commonly used in scientific experiments and in monitoring systems
where there is the need to collect information faster than a human can possibly
collect the information and in cases where accuracy is essential.
Tutorial on how to install the PLX-DAQ
Discussion:
•Arduino
supply maximum 5V thus the sensor could not collect the data at the voltage
more than 5V.
•Tint
film is used to reduce the illuminance
of light; reducing the voltage of the sensor in order to collect more data
especially at 11.am to 2.30 pm
•Illuminance
of light does not affect on certain parameter such as air movement, humidity,
temperature of surrounding thus this type of sensor alone would not make a
perfect weather station.

Simulating the Gas exchange at the School Field
Class : 3 Lily
Learning Standard: Movement and Exchange of Gas in the Human Body
Activity: Simulation by students conduct by the teacher
Teaching aid : Starch (any) flour, *a piece of cloth (body cell), *a long rope (alveolus)
*Depends on teachers' creativity + a good camerawoman
Cross Curricular Element: Art
21st century Element: Collaboration and communication
Moral value : Responsible, diligent and cooperative
Reflection:
The students really enjoyed the activities and appreciate the flexibility to learn science in such activities. 29/29 Students are able to describe the exchange of gases and explain the ways it is transported to all parts of the body cells. Perhaps 3 Orchid also will play and learn this topic with the same activities for 30 minutes lesson as a conclusion.

Video Presentation for Respiratory System (chap. 1)
Teaching KSSM syllabus this year had open my eyes on how students should be more independent in the process of acquiring knowledge. 3 Orchid students are the higher academic achievements group which makes text book look so easy for them achieve the learning standard. Based on this perception, I planned my lesson so that the 3 Orchid students are able to integrate the cross curriculum element such as ICT and Science and Technology into their learning session.
Theme: 2. Respiration
Learning Standard: 2.2 Movement and Exchange of gas in the Human Body
Number of groups: 6
Number of students each groups: 5
Task:
Prepare a group presentation on the given topic creatively by adopting technology into the presentation.
The task was given on Thursday and the next meeting will be on Monday. Enough time to discuss on the role play in the classroom so that there will not be domination or escapism in completing the task.
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4 sent via youtube link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIvIp6si3lU&feature=youtu.be
Group 5
Group 6
As what i'm expected, the students did their group task very well. Even though I find that Group 1 misleading my instruction for the Task, 😅 I feel so glad and overwhelmed that they did their assignment all their heart and nevertheless their present it very well.
So now, the student had done their part, Its back to me for the assessment?
Owh... so HOW WOULD I ASSESS THE STUDENTS' PRODUCT?
Immediately i remembered on how Prof. Nurulhuda gives us task to complete and peer assessment takes place assist by a rubrics.

Adapting 21st Century Learning in Teaching the Sound waves Interference.
As a physics teacher, I find that
teaching and learning sound wave can both challenging simply because it is an
abstract concept; sound wave cannot be seen and ones perception of sound may
varied from one person to another. Thus hands-on activities are often
recommended to improve students’ understanding and strengthen their knowledge.
Software such as Visual Analyzer (VA) is
a real time program which simulates a set of electronic instruments such as
oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer and wave generator. Students are able to ‘see’
the sound waves for the experiments which requires them to study the properties
of sound waves such as reflection, diffraction and interference.
Students work in groups as I gives them
situation for them to solve by experimenting. These groups consist of
heterogeneous academic performance to maximize students’ interaction and
learning. They utilized their previous knowledge and apply it in order to
conduct the experiment. To avoid dominance by a single student, the group
leaders assign roles as the students identified the variables, making
observation and tabulate the data collected for further analysis and sum up
with a conclusion. Finally, they present their findings to the class to promote
communication skills and build confidence.
I monitor their progress as they conduct
the experiment independently by utilizing the apparatus and materials provided
to incorporate problem solving creatively. Upon having trouble in collecting
data, they are encouraged to find solution to minimize error and being honest
in collecting data even though the experiment data is imperfect, to promote
value and ethics.
As I adapt technology into the teaching
and learning, I found that students are more independent, build better
understanding and concept construction, show significantly greater academic
achievements and exhibit more favorable attitudes towards learning physics. I
shared this sound waves learning method by VA in my blog http://cikgufazilah.blogspot.com/2018/04/see-sound-3-interference-of-sound.html

Green Technology Show Competition
GREEN TECHNOLOGY SHOW
(HOPEFULLY IT CAN BENEFIT TO THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD)
WE WON THE FIRST PRIZE FOR THE SCIENCE CARNIVAL COMPETITION DISTRICT LEVEL, dedicated to my girls; Farah, Aysa n Liyana. 💜💜💜
SCENE 1: A HOT AND SUNNY DAY
Ms. Drama Queen walking fast across the school car park
wearing a big hat and with and electronic fan and bump into Ms. Physics Major
and books are flying all over.
Ms. PM
|
:
|
Owh….owh… I am sorry
|
Ms. DQ
|
:
|
OMG… Now look what you
have done!
|
Ms. PM
|
:
|
Owh..I am so sorry let
me help you
|
Both went to the nearby
canteen and sit on the chair.
|
||
Ms. PM
|
:
|
Ms. Drama Queen why are
such in a hurry? You are walking so fast as you are gonna melt under the SUN!
|
A poster of the sun appear/ raise by Ms. DQ.
|
||
Ms. DQ
|
:
|
Of course Ms Physic
Major, don’t you know that the world is getting hotter of global warming. The surrounding
temperature is so hot and I am taking care of my skin from the skin cancer.
Don’t you know that?
|
Ms. PM
|
:
|
Oh.. its good that you
are so concern about the Earth. Now tell me more!
|
Ms. DQ
|
:
|
You know Ms. Physics
Major, Let just make it simple to understand. When you sleep at night, and
you covered with blanket. What do feel?
|
Ms. PM
|
:
|
Hot!
|
Ms. DQ
|
Hot isn’t.. Similar to
the Earth, The sun direct its light and heat to Earth. And the Green House
gases prevent the heat and light from escaping the Earths’ atmosphere
|
|
Ms. PM and Ms. DQ pin
the SUN and the EARTH on the banana stem. And they cover/ shield the Earth
with a shield.
|
||
Ms. PM
|
:
|
You are genius Ms DQ…
examples of GH gases are Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur dioxide that is release by
the factories anddd also by or transportation!
|
SCENE 2: At the
canteen. Ms. Know-It-All overheard the conversation and stop by
|
||
Ms. KIA
|
:
|
Errr excuse me.. I
overheard your conversation about the Greenhouse effects and about the Sun.
Discussing on the other dimension, don’t you know that the Sun provides us
with energy. The light and heat energy that we call as Solar energy.
|
Ms. DQ
|
:
|
Of course I am aware of
that, but I wish I was born in London or New York..or…
|
Ms. PM
|
:
|
But I am so grateful to
live here in Malaysia. Our country is bless with sunlight throughout the
year.
|
Ms. KIT
|
:
|
Yes..talking about energy..
Here
Now this is our
assignment assign by our Physics teacher. We are discussing two issues in the
class that is Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Eficiency (EE)
|
Ms. DQ
|
:
|
Ohh yess! Look at me!
Don’t u ever think a beautiful creature like me didn’t know about RE and EE.
RE is an optional
Energy which will not depleted over time
Where EE is to save
energy and use energy efficiently
|
Ms. KIA and Ms PM
clapped their hand and pop a blaster.
|
||
Ms. KIA
|
:
|
Ms Physics Major, can u
explain further?
|
Ms. PM
|
:
|
Ok let me try..
This is incandescent
light and this is CFL (Fluorescent Light)
This incandescent bulb
cost 10 times than CFL and use 80% higher Energy than CFL.
Whereas, CFL is energy
saving lighting and can last 25 times longer compare to the incandescent
light.
|
Ms. KIA
|
:
|
Yes, next, this is LED
light, LED light is more energy efficient than CFL because it uses 7.5w of
electricity which is lesser than CFL that uses 24w of electricity power. The
LED ligt is expensive than CFL as the life of an LED light is usually up to
50 000 hours or more while the life aof a CFL is up to 8000hours, which means
LED light are durable and long lasting as compared to CFL.
When it is lighten up,
LED will remains cool and brighter, whereas the CFL gets heated up quickly
and less brighter than LED light
|
Ms DQ
|
:
|
But……. What are we
going to do with this incandescent light, if it didn’t benefit us,then why do
the seller still sell this in stock.
|
Ms PM
|
:
|
Dear Ms DQ,
incandescent light produce 40% of light energy and 60% of heat energy.
|
Ms KIA
|
Why not if we use 60%
of the heat energy to heat up something?
|
|
Ms DQ
|
Uh…uh.. I think I have
a brilliant idea!
|
|
Ms KIA & PM
|
WHAT…IS.. THAT..?!
|
|
*flip hair* This is my invention
called “Multipurpose Queen Oven” as u can see here…….
[Tolonglah Ms DQ angkat
meja yg ada oven tu :’( …]
|
||
INNOVATION (THE
MULTIPURPOSE AVEN!)
|
||
Ms DQ
|
INNOVATION!
|
|
Ms PM
|
What do u understand
about innovation Ms. DQ
|
|
Ms KIA
|
Wait! Innovation in a
simple word is turning something that as is to a “valuable” … to something
that can benefits the people around the world!
|
|
Ms DQ
|
Uh..uh..mmmmmm
welllllllll… I N N O V A T I O N n n n
iss closely related to CREATIVITY. Creativity is about NEW IDEA where
INNOVATION is translating the idea into a good service which creates
profitable value when we implement these idea.
|
|
Ms KIA
|
Surely it cannot be
done in one day….
|
|
Ms PM
|
Its true… Innovation
requires time, leadership, teamwork and Communication.
|
|
Ms KIA
|
I agree.. without good
leadership and Teamwork, there will be NO PROGRESS in innovation.
|
|
Ms PM
|
Also.. don’t forget to
sell ur idea of innovation by sharing its benefits through all the social
media especially…….
|
|
ALL
|
INSTAGRAM (ALL LAUGH)
|
|
Ms DQ
|
mmmmm..mm again! This
is my new invention “The Multi Purpose Thermo Light Box” with a Soul (action
: everybody laugh)
|
|
Ms PM
|
Enuff with ur derama Ms
Drama Queen. Now tell me more bout this so called “invention” Ooops
INNOVATION
|
|
Ms KIA
|
(INSPECT THE BOX)
This is a microwave
isn’t buttttt with incandenscent light bulb??? And.. u r cooking the chicken
eggs?
|
|
Ms DQ
|
No…no…no darling.. now
let me explain.. THIS IS A MICROWAVE…but a it is not function..Now as u can
see, this incandescent light is not efficient isn’t? So,.. I benefits the 60%
of the heat energy as what we discuss before to keep the chicken eggs warm
until it hatched.
|
|
Ms KIA
|
Let me demonstrate…
1. Open the oven
2. Put the eggs and close its door
3. Let it turn (wait for a while)
4. Turn off the oven…
5. Temperature (thermometer shows 37
degree C)
|
|
Ms PM
|
The sourceR in the oven
is for….
|
|
Ms KIA
|
The heat to distribute
evenly… through RADIATION
|
|
Ms PM
|
And the fan?
|
|
Ms KIA
|
For the heat to
distribute through CONVECTION
|
|
Ms DQ
|
GENIUS!
And one more…. The light
can be control by a controller by increasing or decreasing the resistor.
|
|
Ms KIA
|
Wow.. my mother would
love this to warm her donut daugh and let the yeast enjoyed their METABOLIC
ACTIVITIES in this optimum temperature !
|
|
Ms DQ
ALL
|
Sure!
The blessing of HEAT,
LIGHT AND INNOVATION!!!!!!!!!!
|
