Linear Motion<br />
11 th grade stud<strong>en</strong>ts, carried out experim<strong>en</strong>ts<br />
on linear motion. They used<br />
brand new Vernier equipm<strong>en</strong>t for this<br />
purpose.<br />
Stud<strong>en</strong>ts examined a differ<strong>en</strong>t kind of<br />
motion and contrasted features of the<br />
position-time and velocity-time graphs<br />
with those they had studied earlier.<br />
Daniela Larrabure, Ignacio Guillén and Joaquín<br />
Leyva discussing and processing the data gathered<br />
after having performed the linear motion experim<strong>en</strong>t<br />
with the Vernier dynamics track, detector and data<br />
collector interface.<br />
Temperature<br />
11 th Grade<br />
The very first activity was to measure<br />
temperature change. Stud<strong>en</strong>ts used<br />
Vernier’s LabQuest® 2 data logger and<br />
Temperature Probe to collect readings.<br />
These readings were stored directly<br />
onto the data logger and were processed<br />
in real time to determine graphs<br />
and equations. Such a powerful tool really<br />
made the differ<strong>en</strong>ce and everyone<br />
<strong>en</strong>joyed the activity.<br />
Paula Rodríguez getting the readings from Vernier’s<br />
LabQuest® 2 data logger and temperature probe.<br />
Arianna Costa and Mayté Guamán taking notes after<br />
obtaining the graph and equation for future analysis<br />
and conclusions.<br />
Demos Using Vernier Equipm<strong>en</strong>t<br />
As part of the Sci<strong>en</strong>ce Fair activities, some experim<strong>en</strong>ts using<br />
our Vernier equipm<strong>en</strong>t were created with interaction in mind,<br />
so visitors could see how stud<strong>en</strong>ts learned Sci<strong>en</strong>ce through<br />
real life and funny experim<strong>en</strong>ts.<br />
Isabella Riva and Josemar Cueva, from the Advanced Physics class, practice<br />
with Vernier’s LabQuest® 2 data logger, Photogate and Picket F<strong>en</strong>ce to measure<br />
the acceleration of gravity in Lima.<br />
