Piloting i-Newton for the Experiential Learning of Dynamics

i-Newton is successful: v It enables hands-on learning without traditional laboratory v It has potential to increase understanding of Newton’s laws v It can be adapted to other courses that emphasize Newton’s laws (e.g., Introductory Physics) v Student-directed experiments could result in even greater benefits v Innovative/inexpensive technology for demonstrating Newtonian mechanics v Miniature inertial measurement unit (IMU) to wirelessly transfer motion data v Can be attached to any object v Generates motion data that can be collected/reviewed in real time i-Newton
