IGCSE Computer Science 0478: Sensors
Students learn what sensors are, what data each of the 14 sensors captures, how sensors feed control systems, and how to choose the most suitable sensor or device for a context.
One content description from the full IGCSE Computer Science 0478 — 3.2 Input and Output Devices journey. All 20 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
