How to Collect and Analyze Environmental Data with Sensor Kits
from The STEM Lab
This episode walks you through the complete process of collecting and analyzing real environmental data using sensor kits — the same workflow that professional climate scientists, air quality engineers, and ecologists use every day. It's designed for kids ages 10 to 16 (with adult support where needed) and covers everything from choosing the right sensors based on your research question to deploying them in the field, calibrating them properly, collecting clean data, analyzing it, and sharing your findings with citizen science networks. Whether you're tracking air pollution near your school or monitoring water quality in a local creek, this is your step-by-step guide to doing real science, not just classroom experiments.
