Spot the physics: analysing movements, acceleration and free fall by video
Teaching and learning contents of physics and sports can easily be combined and digitally analysed. How well this can work shows the teaching unit ‘Spot the Physics’: With their smartphones students record various motion sequences during sportive activities like the throwing of a basket ball or the acceleration during a bicycle ride. Later the students analyse the recorded videos to determine which physical theories can describe the phenomena observed.
For this teaching unit the students should be at an age between 15 and 19 years, for certain knowledge in physics is presumed.
