Position: Match Graph

In this lab, students will use motion sensors to track and graph their motion in real time. Students will get a hands-on introduction to the concept of...

High School / Physics

Speed and Velocity

In this lab, students will make predictions about how a cart's speed and velocity differ. Then, they'll test their predictions using motion sensors.

High School / Physics

Relative Motion

In this lab lab, students will use motion sensors to apply the concepts of relative motion and frames of reference to understanding velocity as a vector...

High School / Physics

Acceleration

In this lab, students will use motion sensors to represent motion as a change of position in graphical form.

High School / Physics

Projectile Motion

In this lab, students will use pairs of photogates to demonstrate how independent, horizontal and vertical motions describe the motion of a projectile.

Advanced Placement / Physics

Two Dimensional Motion: Projectiles

In this lab, students use a photogate and mini launcher to measure the variables that affect the two-dimensional motion of a projectile launched horizontally,...

College / Physics

Relative Motion in One Dimension

In this lab, students will study motion relative to a moving reference frame.

College / Physics

Graph Matching

In this lab, students will explore plots of position and velocity vs. time. The Motion Sensor is used to detect the motion of a person moving back and...

Instantaneous and Average Speed

In this lab, students will measure a cart's average speed between photogates to observe the difference between instantaneous and average speed.
