Abstract

With the need to improve science laboratory in the Philippines, the Versatile Instrumentation System for Science Education and Research (VISSER) aims to advance a system where it can develop higher order thinking skills (HOTS) to students in laboratory activities that are essential to the development of science. In this paper, VISSER handheld and module
were utilized to demonstrate Tyndall effect. Through efficient data acquisition and reduced processing time, VISSER allows more time in the analysis and manipulation of experimental data. Using available sensors, tightly coupled with the VISSER acquisition handheld, accurate and precise measurements can be done. This versatility can open to other fields of exploration for the end user beyond the objectives set by standard experiments.
