Jump into fall learning with hands-on force analysis! Join Vernier experts Tom Smith and John Melville, PhD, as they introduce the Go Direct^® 2-Axis Force Plate—a tool that combines the Go Direct Force Plate and our new Lateral Force Accessory to measure human-scale forces in 2D, including friction, stepping, and jumping. We’ll show you how one sensor can enhance multiple curricula, from mechanics to physiology and sports science investigations.

You will

✔ Learn setup techniques for the Go Direct 2-Axis Force Plate to ensure accurate data collection

✔ Discover strategies for investigating statics and Newton’s third law through hands-on force analysis experiments

✔ Explore biomechanics applications that help students understand the physics of walking, running, and jumping in the context of human physiology
