GCSE Required Practical Activities eBook (Free!)

These worksheets are designed to work with the new practical skills assessment for GCSEs in England. 

Written to show how data logging can, and should, be incorporated into the practical skills.

In many cases there will be a gain in efficiency by adopting a data logging practical, for example using multiple modern dynamics systems and low friction trolleys with a data logger to replace a single air track or old heavy wooden ramps and ticker timers.
