Ramos, L. M.; Reis, C. R. N.; Calheiro, L. B.; Goncalves, A. M. B. – Physics Education, 2021
Using a joystick module, we followed the movement of a chaotic magnetic pendulum. The pendulum bar was attached to a joystick that served as a pivot point and biaxial angular motion sensor. Using an Arduino board, we could follow the position as a function of time along both the "x" and "y"-axis and draw a graph showing the…

Botzer, Galit; Yerushalmy, Michal – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
This paper focuses on the cognitive processes that occur while students are exploring motion graphs. In a classroom experiment, we examine how high-school students (aged 17), with backgrounds in calculus and physics, interpret the graphs they create through drawing the path of the movement of their hand with a computer mouse. Based on recent, and…
