Using tablets for experimental work in physics lessons, supported by Vernier interface

Aljoša Kancler, Prva gimnazija Maribor

How can an entire class of students simultaneously perform an experiment despite having only one Vernier set available? Participants of the Open Space will be able to participate in the experiment via Wi-Fi network. Upon arrival in the classroom they will connect with their mobile devices (tablet, smartphone etc.) to a Vernier LabQuest interface 2. After experimental work participants will analyze the data on the graphs according to the instructions for the different experiments. They will also get instructions and help on how to work. Experiments will be in the field of motion, temperature, electricity. The aim of the presentation is to show the application possibilities in the classroom. The lesson will be followed by a discussion about the potential applications and experiences of the participants. For the participants this will be definitely an interesting and new experience.
