SACs and Pracs with Paul 1 & Paul 2 SACs, Apps, Pracs and demos Paul Fielding Billanook College Paul Fitz-Gerald Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School
2
What we would like to cover iApps used in class Practical experiments/demonstrations with potential to become investigation tasks/SACs Other practical experiments/demos that we find work well The experiments we selected to cover today have been proven in our classes, low cost and effective.
3
Motion App: Sparkvue (free) Accelerometer and ‘g’ meter. Images: in a lift, circular motion Footage: apparent weight
4
Waves (sound/light)
5
Motion App: Videophysics ($4.99) Show graphs from app.
6
Sound
7
Motion Keyring camera ($8 Hobbyking.com) Not an app/SAC but could add interest Show footage
8
Sound
9
Singing rods with frequency counter Frequency Meter PRO ($1.24) fλ=v 4185x0.608x2=5088 m/s (5082 m/s speed in aluminium rod)
