Secondary Science Using ICT: Investigating Acceleration Using Light Gates
From Teachers TV, this video looks at velocity and acceleration and how these can be measured using data loggers. Paul Preece at Camborne Science and Community College, and his class of Year Nine students investigate acceleration with the traditional trolley rolling experiment. Students use light gates to accurately capture the speed of the passing trolley at different positions on the slope and analyse their results. Paul demonstrates the equipment and explains the data his students are expected to collect.
