Encounter with a Rectilinear Uniformly Accelerated Motion in a Flipped Classroom: Enhancing Students' Data Processing Skills
Pierratos, Theodoros
Physics Education, v56 n5 Article 055017 Sep 2021
Due to the conditions imposed worldwide by the pandemic, students' access to school laboratories is limited, if not impossible. To provide students with raw experimental data to assess, analyse and reason out, we have filmed experiments that can be used in a flipped classroom. This paper presents an experiment which makes use of an array of six photogate timers track the trajectory of a cart. The students are provided at home with different parts of the video, they process the data and make predictions. During the synchronous distance learning, they present their predictions, compare them with the measured values and discuss their conclusions. In this way, they encounter the predictive power of physics' laws of motion, address the reliability of their conclusions as a function of the quality and sample size of the experimental data.
