Spot the Physics: Analysing movements, acceleration and free fall by video

Teaching and learning contents of physics and sports can easily be combined and digitally analysed.

The teaching unit ‘Spot the Physics’ shows how it works: With their smartphones students record various motion sequences during sportive activities like the throwing of a basket ball or the acceleration during a bicycle ride.

Later the students analyse the recorded videos to determine which physical theories can describe the phenomena observed.
