Students will then come back and pr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/motion-graphs
Vernier - Bungee Jump Accelerations
Students use an Accelerometer to analyze the motion of a bungee jumper and determine a point where there is maximum and minimum acceleration in the course of the motion. They also compare the experimental data with an actual bungee jump.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--bungee-jump-accelerations
Vernier - Reflectivity of Light
In this activity, students will use a Light Sensor to measure reflection values from paper of various colors and compare these values to reflection values of aluminum foil. They will also calculate percent reflectivity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--reflectivity-of-light
Vernier - Graphing Your Motion with EasyData™ App and CBR 2™
Students will use a CBR 2™ motion detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vernier--graphing-your-motion-with-easydata-app-and-cbr-2
