Academic Studio, News
Academic Studio Science Project Funded!
Academic Studio will be receiving 12 photogates to be used with our Vernier sensors and dynamics carts systems. These photogates allow us to measure positions of falling or moving objects with extreme precision. We will pair the photogates with dynamics carts and motion detectors to get more precise data for modeling motion. We will also use the photogates to model the acceleration due to gravity felt by falling objects. These projects wonderfully integrate physics and algebra: we will collect position, velocity, and acceleration data from the moving/falling objects and use those data to build linear and quadratic functions that model the objects’ motion.
