Physics Toolbox Play

Kullanıcıların tanıtan Veri doğrulanmış zorluklar, fizik sensörleri, ve kariyerlerini STEM'in.

Useful for educational outreach in informal STEM learning and for classroom introductions to sensors, physics, and STEM careers, this app is comprised of a series of data-verified challenges. Each of the 7 challenges include one or more tasks that require the user to use sensors to accomplish a goal, followed by simple concept questions about physics, and an example of how the sensor is useful in real-life STEM careers. This app was developed thanks to an award of a mini-grant from the American Physical Society, as a sub-award from the National Science Foundation, grant NSF#1404843, and the help of an international leadership and advisory board.

The 7 challenges include the following:

- Sound Meter: Measure how much sound is in the environment around you.

- G-Force Meter: Measure your motion in three dimensions.

- Magnetometer: Find magnetic materials around you.

- Proximeter: Use a light-based motion sensor to make a simple pendulum timer.

- Compass: Find the directions of North, South, East, and West from where you are standing. (BETA)

- Light Meter: Change the amount of light hitting the sensor.

- Barometer: Measure how pressure changes in the room.
