Since our sensors can collect temperature and humidity, we could use the sensors to figure where on campus is the warmest and where on campus is the coldest. We could then use this information to inform students on where the warm classes are and cold classes are this way they can dress appropriately. We can find where the most humidity is so that we can tell students if they need a water bottle or not. We could find where the most light comes in. This way we could tell teachers if they are in a good class room for a plant or not.
One of the limitations is that the sensors are not 100% accurate. To overcome this we could have 2 sensors read the same thing and then take the average. Another limitation is that you can only be within 10 feet for your phone to receive the data. A way to overcome this is one you stay within 10 feet of the sensor. The second way is you keep a phone near it at all times.The sensor will not let us store data so to overcome this we will use an old fashion technique of hand recording the data.

A sensor is a device that is used to detect events or changes in an environment. The Environmental Protection Agency uses sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, oxygen levels and precipitation in an environment. My class will be using sensors on our campus to monitor humidity, temperature and light. There are many different types of charts that we could use to understand the data that we will be collecting. We will use a line graph to measure the temperature and will use a bar graph to measure humidity and precipitation. We could use a pie graph to show how much of a year's precipitation is rain, sleet, hail or snow. I can then use this data to help improve my life by trying to take care of our campus I might join the gardening club. I might volunteer in a group that goes and cleans up the environment.
