IV. USING LABQUEST 2 WITH A MOBILE DEVICE 
LabQuest 2 includes Vernier Data Share, a feature that broadcasts sensor data to one or more 
devices wirelessly from the LabQuest 2 interface. Using a compatible web browser, students can: 
  collaboratively collect experiment data 
  analyze an individual copy of the data on their device 
  examine their data and perform analyses such as statistics, linear fits, and quadratic fits 
  add a title and comment to their graph 
  use photo or screenshot features on their device to capture an image of the graph for their 
lab report 
 
Data Share is used with our Connected Science System, a networked collection of technology 
that supports hands-on, collaborative learning with individualized accountability.  
To use LabQuest 2 with a mobile device, follow these instructions.
