Accelerometer
Created by our friends at Nerd Island Studios, the Accelerometer Interactive allows learners to collect data of velocity as a function of time for their mobile device. If the device has a built-in accelerometer, the Accelerometer Interactive will be able to plot an acceleration vs. time graph as the device moves. That's both nifty and risky. It's nifty because what student of physics doesn't want to know information about acceleration. And its risky because we know that learners are going to think of many different (and some not very wise) ways to get their devices accelerating.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and begin. There is no need for an activity sheet for this Interactive.
