PowerLab Sensors Resource Hub
PowerLab Sensors are an active learning tool, giving your students authentic experiences with scientific equipment and techniques. Simply plug your PowerLab Sensor into your computer, and begin recording. No complicated set-ups, no trial and error, no stress. Students use PowerLab Sensors to analyse their own physiological signals in real time, giving them ownership over their own learning, and helping them to quickly grasp core physiological concepts.
