Description
Smartphones and other mobile devices can be used to enhance laboratory experiences because of their many internal sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, light meter, sound meter etc.). During this workshop, use your own device (or borrow one from the presenters!) to cycle through two sets of team-based, data-verified challenges using everyday materials. In the first set of challenges, participants will work in pairs to complete up to seven tasks with Physics Toolbox Play, learning about fundamental physics principles and sensor capabilities. In the second set, participants will use Physics Toolbox LiDAR Motion to match motion graphs using novel LiDAR technology on the iPhone. Finally, participants will have time to brainstorm other ways that they might use smartphones to enhance existing laboratory experiences, from in-the-field data collection experiences to distance learning.
