Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite was developed by Chrystian Vieyra for my students. I would never have expected that what we created would help produce a major transformation in physics education!

Article by Yiping Zhao at the Uni. of GA describes it well: https://t.co/RGYqX7kUcF

@Countrygrl_mk @tisanct If anyone wants to play around with a much more competent device, get physics toolbox (Vieyra Software), for Android and IOS. I never realized that smartphones had so many sensors built into them. Tremendous educational potential.

Pulling a smartphone along a flat surface can reveal some beautiful acceleration-time graphs, helping students to understand both Newton's 2nd law as well as kinetic friction on different surfaces. https://t.co/bmHrmOpg4M

@kilroi22 @RVieyraAEF @AIP_HQ @PhysicsToday Funny you should ask! We hadn't reflected on that...

[Physics Toolbox @physicstoolbox]

The journal of the @AIP_HQ, @PhysicsToday, recently featured Physics Toolbox on a spread in its January edition. Check out "Teaching Physics with Phones: A Game Changer?" https://t.co/3bFDP8g9Vd #openaccess

From @AM_Pendrill:
@TP_Science visited Liseberg to record a video about Helix, including drone videos, backstage footage - and a short discussion w/ Jurnan Schilder about the function of magnetic brakes. The 3D compass is part of the #PhysicsToolbox. See https://t.co/LWrtTo4AbA
