BETT Conference, the world's largest educational technology event takes place at Olympia, London, 14-17th January. The show draws over 600 educational suppliers and nearly 30,000 visitors to view cutting edge and innovative solutions for teaching and learning. Fourier Systems can be visited at stand F96. We hope to see you there!

As countries move up the value chain they emerge from their traditional reliance on labor intensive industries and export processing centers. New commitments are being made towards re-skilling a future labor force for a high tech world. The focus is now on math and science, which can feed flourishing high-tech and service industries. For a long time science and math have been perceived and presented as too abstract and theoretical. Fourier data-collection devices help students connect graphs representing scientific concepts to the real world. Research in this field indicates that repeated activities with the devices can improve students' understanding about physical phenomena. Immediate feedback presents data in a manner that students can learn to interpret almost instantly and so draw scientific conclusions about real-world through direct inquiry.
This month's featured probe is the Heart Rate/Pulse DT155A. The easiest way to measure heart rate is using the Heart Rate sensor. Heart Rate sensor monitors the light level transmitted through the vascular tissue of the fingertip and the corresponding variations in light intensities that occur as the blood volume change in the tissue. The ease of use makes it possible to measure everyone's heart rate, even in larger classes. The Heart Rate sensor measures heart rate between 0 and 200 bpm (beats per minute). The sensor consists of Fourier Systems sensor case (DT155) and an ear clip (DT159).
