Post meeting review:
- The meeting went well.
- A google doc from Paul Anderson's presentation: http://bit.ly/1IUmiZ4
- The Brian Cox video link from the meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E43-CfukEgs&feature=youtu.be
- We used the Sensor Kinetics app to demonstrate the linear accelerometer feature of Sensor Kinetics Pro at the last go4st8 meeting.
- We hung our phones on springs to do SHM and recorded the data.
- The videos below are links to the makers videos on the app.
- Sensor Kinetics Description Videos:
- Mike M made a how to video on exporting the data to graphical analysis or logger pro.
- The data export tutorial Mike made: https://youtu.be/bWO-GZVylx0
Meeting Plans:
Using video analysis and apps in the real world is the topics for the last meeting of the school year. The basics needed to have students explore the motion of amusement parks, playgrounds, baseball runners or whatever will be explored. We will apply the techniques of video analysis by finding the velocity of an air cannon. This can then be applied to projectile motion and spreadsheet predictions. Participants will also receive a disk of video clips that can be analyzed using Vernier Logger Pro or other analysis software. Mobile devices also have built in sensors that will be explored and are very helpful in exploring real world physics. Bring iPads, tablets, smart-phones, and/or cameras to the meeting so you will be able to practice with your own equipment (there will be devices to share if you don’t have your own access). It would be helpful to download the following free apps to your device(s) from app store (Vernier Video Physics ($4.99), Vernier Graphical Analysis, and Sensor Kinetics) or from Google Play (Vernier Graphical Analysis and Sensor Kinetics). Stop in for some good times with colleagues. Bring a friend and anything you have to share with the group. There is no cost to attend GO4ST8 Physics meetings; you do not have to RSVP. The basic premise of GO4ST8 Physics is for teachers to help teachers improve the teaching and learning of physics in Minnesota.

The basic premise of GO4ST8 Physics is for teachers to help teachers improve the teaching and learning of physics in Minnesota. The Saturday GO4ST8 Physics meetings are held from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (with refreshments from about 8:30 AM). As always these meetings are open to anyone who has an interest in physics. There are no fees outside of a willingness to participate. The meetings consist of make, take, and do, sharing, special topics, guest speakers depending on the date.
