Mastering Motion:

Torque, rotations, and angular momentum can be challenging concepts for students to comprehend. We can help! Join Vernier physics expert Tom Smith on Wednesday, December 7, to learn classroom-tested strategies that help students build competency and confidence in rotational kinematics and dynamics.

This webinar is geared toward general physics and AP Physics teachers. Attendees will

• Explore how to introduce rotational motion to students by building a fundamental understanding of the relationship between a circle and the ratio called pi
• Uncover common misconceptions relating to centripetal force and learn how to introduce rotational kinematics. 
• Gain hands-on knowledge of the Go Direct^® Acceleration Sensor, Go Direct Rotary Motion Sensor and the Rotational Motion Accessory Kit.
•  

Get ready to explore these challenging concepts and the Vernier tools that students can use to engage in hands-on physics learning!

Go Direct Acceleration Sensor: Monitor acceleration in rotations easily and precisely with the Go Direct Acceleration Sensor, which connects to your device via Bluetooth^® wireless technology (or USB). The wireless connection eliminates the cables that can get caught and tangled during rotational investigations.

Go Direct Rotary Motion Sensor: Monitor angular motion easily and precisely with the Go Direct Rotary Motion Sensor, which connects to your device via Bluetooth^® wireless technology or USB.

Rotational Motion Accessory Kit: This accessory kit is used with the Go Direct Rotary Motion Sensor to study the motion of a physical pendulum; the rotational inertia of disks, rings, and point masses; and the conservation of angular momentum.
