Inclined Plane: measuring acceleration with real data

Students use the Inclined Plane remote lab to test distance-time-squared reasoning, estimate acceleration from sensor times, and explain uncertainty in real data.

• Collect sensor-time evidence from the LabsLand Inclined Plane remote lab.
• Test whether distance is better compared with time or time squared.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

Is the ball speeding up?

Use three sensor readings from one ramp run to compare the time for two equal distances.

• Distinguish elapsed time to a sensor from travel time between two sensors.
• Subtract two elapsed readings to find the time for a section of track.

Includes student questions and response prompts.

Which ramp gets the ball there sooner?

Compare two ramp angles using a real ball and the same finish sensor.

• Read the ball's travel time at the same sensor for two ramp angles.
• Use the two times to decide which run reached that sensor sooner.

Includes student questions and response prompts.
