Materials List: Exploring Acceleration with an Android

Each group needs:

  • Android device, smart phone or tablet (1 per class or 1 per group, depending on availability)
  • Android Acceleration Application, the packaged data collecting app for Android
  • textbook track (use a full classroom set of ~30 books to create a 15-20 feet long track, with ~15 books on each side of the track.)
  • large rubber bands, ~15 (strung together, the rubber bands should span the length of the track)
  • computers with Excel, Geogebra or similar software
