What does the CBR™ 2 motion sensor do?
With the CBR™ 2 motion sensor and a TI graphing calculator, students can collect, view, and analyze motion data without tedious measurements and manual plotting.
The CBR™ 2 motion sensor lets students explore the mathematical and scientific relationships between distance, velocity, acceleration, and time using data collected from activities they perform. Students can explore math and science concepts such as:
| • | motion: distance, velocity, acceleration |
| • | graphing: coordinate axes, slope, intercepts |
| • | functions: linear, quadratic, exponential, sinusoidal |
| • | calculus: derivatives, integrals |
| • | statistics and data analysis: data collection methods, statistical analysis |
| • | physics: motion, use with dynamics tracks, pendulum analysis, position, velocity, acceleration |
| • | physical science: motion experiments |
What’s in this guide?
Getting Started with the CBR™ 2 Motion Sensor is designed to be a guide for teachers who do not have extensive calculator experience. It includes quick-start instructions for using the CBR™ 2 motion sensor, hints on effective data collection.
The CBR™ 2 motion sensor includes everything you need to begin classroom activities easily and quickly — just add a TI graphing calculator (and readily available props for some activities).
