Demo

In this activity students apply Archimedes’ principle to determine the volume and density of different objects.

Activity Determination of density

In this activity students walk in front of the motion detector to match the given distance vs. time graph

Activity Match the graph (demo)

The events analysed via video measurements can be more unusual. In this activity such example is used, the jump on the Moon. Based on the video measurements of the jump students determine the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon.

Activity Moon jump

Electric circuits

In this activity students use the current and voltage sensors and investigate power delivered to a resistor by investigating the behavior of bulbs in dc circuit.

Activity Intriguing behaviour of bulbs

Electric fields

In this activity students use the voltage sensor to measure the potential across a capacitor as the capacitor discharges. They determine the time constant of the circuit. They investigate the effect of changing the capacitance of the capacitor and changing the resistance of the resistor on the time of discharging

Heat and temperature

In this activity students record temperature during a cooling process of hot water and check the validity of Newton's law of cooling for the collected data

Radioactivity

Sound

In this activity students use the sound sensor and record sound waveforms from tuning forks.

Activity Sound waves (demo)

In this activity students determine the speed of sound in air. There are two measuring methods offered in the activity. Depending on an interface a different method can be used
