Google has launched an app called Science Journal for Android, and it is available via Google Play. The app is aimed at letting users conduct experiments, by gathering light, sound, and other data from the smartphone. There is no word on availability for the Apple ecosystem.
It basically lets you conduct all the basic experiments for a desired project on your smartphone. The app is aimed at kids, in order to encourage them to indulge in science projects more. It basically lets you record data in real-time like amount of light indoors vs outdoors, speed of a vehicle, and even speed of light.
Furthermore, the app even lets you store all the data into graphs and charts for better understanding of the research, and deriving the final conclusion. The Science Journal app has a simple interface, with easy-to-understand navigation buttons. There is a voice note-taking feature that allows you to take speech notes on-the-go.
