WHAT IS A DATA LOGGER?
A data logger,is an electronic instrument
that records measurements at set intervals
over a period of time.
Depending on theparticulardata
logger,measurements can include: air
temperature, relative humidity,AC/DC
current and voltage, differential pressure,
light intensity, water temperature, water
level, dissolved oxygen,soil moisture,
rainfall, wind speed and direction, leaf
wetness, pulse signals, room occupancy,
plug load,and many more.

smaller.
EMPOWER
The water is heated by using a bunsen
burner and the temperature is taken by
using the temperature sensor.
When the piston of the heat engine
apparatus rise 1 milimeter, start
button was pressed to record the
temperature.
OBSERVATION

After one hour and 30 minutes, the

water become hot and the balloon was
expand.
The balloon expand because the air
inside the test tube is increasing in
volume and moved into the balloon.

RESULT
DISCUSSION

What is the relationship between

the volume of a gas and the
temperature of the gas?
What is the manipulated variable?
Explain the phenomenon that
involved both temperature and
volume?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

1. =
-. The relationship is linear, if the
temperature of a volume of gas is
doubles, the volumes doubles.
2. The manipulated variables is
temperature.
3. This phenomenon can be seen in
hot air balloon.
ENHANCE

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New

Mexico is the largest hot air balloon festival in the
entire world. This event was held at each October,
the event spans nine days and features over 750
incredible balloons. Explain how hot air balloon can
fly into the sky?
ANSWER
Hot air balloons have three important
compartments which are basket, burners, and
envelope.
To make it fly, the person that sat in the basket
will open up the burner to start the fire.
The heat that produced by the burner will heat
up the air inside the envelope.
The heat will cause the air inside the envelope
to increase in volume.
As the volume of the air increasing, the hot air
balloon will move into the sky.
