Lukovic, Milentije; Lukovic, Vanja; Bozic, Milos; Vujicic, Vojislav – Physics Teacher, 2021
One of the contemporary trends in the development of physics teaching is its integration with computers. Introducing computers and microcontrollers into the teaching of physics opens up completely new possibilities for explaining different physical phenomena. Microcontrollers allow the experiment to be brought back to the focus of physics teaching…

Boublil, Shachar; Blair, David; Treagust, David F. – Teaching Science, 2023
The demand for improving student interest in science has increased efforts toward teaching Einstein's theory of general relativity in schools. Research has already shown that teaching Einsteinian gravity at the secondary level is feasible, however, appropriate resources must be readily available for science teachers to make Einsteinian gravity…

Canassa, T. A.; Freitas, W. P. S.; Ferreira, J. V. B.; Goncalves, A. M. B. – Physics Education, 2020
We propose an experimental analogy to verify Kepler's second law using a spherical pendulum. We made a movie of a closed elliptical orbit of the pendulum and extracted the data position using the Tracker software. Analyzing the data, we measured the areas that the position vector sweeps showing the validity of Kepler's second law.

Phayphung, Wissarut; Rakkapao, Suttida; Prasitpong, Singha – Physics Education, 2022
The article introduces a low-cost Arduino sensor into the Young's modulus determination laboratory for physics university students. A stainless steel ruler is used as a cantilever beam. Its free end attached a mass is slightly bent and released to make it oscillate as a simple harmonic motion. The Arduino sensor detects the moving mass's frequency…

Rosi, Tommaso; Perini, Marica; Onorato, Pasquale; Oss, Stefano – Physics Education, 2021
We designed and tested a 3D motion tracking system which displays acquired and derived data using augmented reality. This setup, based on a virtual reality headset and its controllers, is a relatively low-cost, high-precision, six degrees of freedom, high-speed, multiple-objects tracking device. This apparatus proves to be a very high-quality…

Mananghaya, Michael Rivera; Yu, Dennis – Physics Education, 2022
A low-cost simple one-dimensional spring-mass system was constructed to investigate damped oscillations. The suspended mass in the system can move freely inside a cylinder containing a fluid. It provides an in-depth experience for demonstrating various concepts under oscillations. It can be used to probe the magnitude of damping forces in liquids…

Nuryantini, Ade Yeti; Nuryadin, Bebeh Wahid – Physics Education, 2020
The vector of aircraft motion and analysis using FlightRadar24 and Tracker motion analysis has been investigated and studied. The straight, turning and circular aircraft motion were recorded from www.flightradar24.com using a commercial desktop video recording. Then, the video of the aircraft motion was analyzed using Tracker 5.1.1 to determine…

Bouquet, F.; Bobroff, J.; Kolli, A.; Organtini, G. – Physics Education, 2021
We created an introductory physics activity for undergraduate students, consisting of measuring the same physical quantity by different methods. This allows us to confront students with questions of uncertainty, precision, and model versus theory. The aim was to measure the height of a building using only a smartphone and everyday low-cost…

Wörner, Salome; Fischer, Christian; Kuhn, Jochen; Scheiter, Katharina; Neumann, Irene – Physics Teacher, 2021
Video motion analysis allows tracing trajectories of objects in motion and is an established method in physics education. Tablet computers, with their integrated cameras, offer the opportunity to both record and analyze dynamic motions during experiments on a single device. This enables students to work without transitioning the data between…
