Help your students better visualize and understand oscillating systems with hands-on data collection!

Join Vernier physics experts Fran Poodry and Tom Smith as they demonstrate how to use the Go Direct® Motion Detector and Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor to build a solid foundation in simple harmonic motion concepts.

What you’ll learn

Strategies for helping students master simple harmonic motion concepts, preparing them for both standard and advanced assessments

How to guide students from basic observations to mathematical models, connecting physical motion to key equations relevant to mechanics and waves units

Techniques for helping students determine amplitude, period, and phase constants from their collected data

Methods for investigating the relationship between force and acceleration in oscillating systems

Attendees who join us live will be entered to win a Go Direct Motion Detector.
