Google Science Journal - https://sciencejournal.withgoogle.com/ - is a platform that provides science resources and ideas for educators and/or learners.
The best feature is likely its use of native hardware on any users phone, like accelerometers, light meters, and more–to help ‘do the science.’
In this way, it combines ideas (e.g., for experiments) and tools (an app that uses your phone’s built-in technology) in an attempt to be a kind of one-stop-shop science platform.
"Users can also add external sensors to their phone that they may not have, for added function and experimentation."
“With additional external sensors …your students can conduct even more experiments that includes building a weather station or testing body conductivity. Popular sensors include: light, conductivity, temperature, force, gas, heart rate, respiration, radiation, pressure, magnetism–and many more.”
