Bouquet, F.; Bobroff, J.; Kolli, A.; Organtini, G. – Physics Education, 2021
We created an introductory physics activity for undergraduate students, consisting of measuring the same physical quantity by different methods. This allows us to confront students with questions of uncertainty, precision, and model versus theory. The aim was to measure the height of a building using only a smartphone and everyday low-cost…

Igoe, D. P.; Parisi, A. V.; Wagner, S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Smartphones used as tools provide opportunities for the teaching of the concepts of accuracy and precision and the mathematical concept of arctan. The accuracy and precision of a trigonometric experiment using entirely mechanical tools is compared to one using electronic tools, such as a smartphone clinometer application and a laser pointer. This…
