The PocketLab System brings together science curriculum, hands-on labs and lessons, data sensors, and professional development built with customization in mind.

Using the Predict-Obeserve-Explain sequence, students were tasked to investigate how the displacement-time, velocity-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs would look like for a can rolling down a wooden ramp by using the PocketLab device. They were also tasked to investigate the relationship between a (acceleration of body) , g (acceleration due to free-fall) and 𝜃 (angle of slope) as well as design the ramp to obtain various graph shapes.
