Boson - Enviromental Science Kit

The Boson Environmental Science Kit offers students a gateway into real-world scientific inquiry using a comprehensive selection of sensors and outputs. Designed to explore environmental data such as light, moisture, temperature, and pH, the kit promotes hands-on experiments and data-driven projects that integrate seamlessly with micro:bit (not included).

Educational Benefits:

• Supports environmental science and sustainability-based learning.
• Encourages student-designed experiments and open investigations.
• Enhances STEM projects with real sensor data.
• Develops coding and data logging skills in meaningful contexts.
• Fosters curiosity and awareness of climate, ecology, and chemistry.

Classroom Ideas:

• Measure and compare light levels in different locations or times of day.
• Monitor soil conditions for a school garden project.
• Build a visual warning system for temperature or pH changes.
• Track indoor air conditions with humidity and temperature sensors.
• Design a self-watering plant system that responds to soil moisture.
