Il testo della prova per lo studio del periodo del pendolo con @rwth_phyphox, con le indicazioni per l'insegnante, pubblicato in versione preliminare su @smartphysicslab in Italiano.
Thanks to high school students, we started providing practicals proposals in Italian, too. The first experiment about light absorption is now available in the "italian" folder.

Using @arduino, I studied the physics of gases, and measured the zero of the absolute temperature scale. Learn how to use BLE on Arduino and remotely collect data (thanks to @baldengineer). link.medium.com/yURhz2F3leb

If you are going to perform one of the experiments suggested by us, using the material you find on smartphysicslab.org, post one or more pictures on your preferred social networks and tag us, or send pictures to us. We will publish them here.

One of the many possible implementations of the activity consisting in measuring light absorption by media, found at smartphysicslab.org/resource…. It is also a great opportunity to teach about exponentials and differential equations. Can be done with @arduino or @rwth_phyphox.

This is how practical proposals appear in @smartphysicslab website, when clicking on the picture above each title. A well formatted document, ready to be administered to your students. You can, however, modify it as needed, having access to its LaTeX source.
