Real instruments. Your data.

01 : Capture

Get data out of the real world

Video analyzer

Film anything that moves, then track it frame by frame: click the object to record its position, run three calibrations to convert pixels and frames into meters and seconds, and read velocity and acceleration straight off the fitted graphs. Exports a clean (t, x, y) table.

Open the analyzer → Phone sensor : motion

Accelerometer

Put your phone on a cart, an elevator floor, or in your hand and record acceleration on all three axes, live.

Start collecting → Phone sensor : position

GPS motion

Walk, run, bike, or ride and record speed and displacement over time from your phone's GPS.

Start collecting → Phone sensor : rotation

Rotation

Spin your phone on a turntable, a swivel chair, or a string and record rotation rates from the gyroscope.

Start collecting → Phone sensor : sound

Sound

Record sound level over time from the microphone: claps, beats, whistles, and how loudness falls off with distance.

02 : Straighten

Turn any dataset into a constant

Data tool : bring your own data

Straighten your own data

Type any dataset and its axis labels into the table: measurements from a collector, a video, a class experiment, or a textbook problem. Then square, square-root, or invert an axis until the points fall on a line. r² near 1 means you found the right transform, and the slope is your constant.

03 : Guided labs

Nine labs, one per unit, every answer hidden

Each lab gives you a working apparatus with a mystery inside. Predict first, explore with the sliders, collect your own measurements, then straighten your data to recover a value you were never shown. Results record to your dashboard.

Unit 1 : kinematics

Ramp release

Release a cart on a live ramp and mark how far it gets, then use your own data to work out how steep a ramp you cannot see is.

you recover: acceleration (m/s²) Run the lab → Unit 2 : forces

Modified Atwood

Let a hanging mass drag a cart along a track, then use your own data to weigh a mass you cannot even see.

you recover: hanging mass (kg) Run the lab → Unit 3 : energy

Spring launcher

Fling a payload straight up off a spring, then use your own data to measure the stiffness of a spring you never see.

you recover: spring constant k (N/m) Run the lab → Unit 4 : momentum

Ballistic catcher

Fire a ball into a hanging catcher, then use your own data to weigh a block you cannot put on a scale.

you recover: launch speed (m/s) Run the lab → Unit 4 : momentum

Impulse

Push a cart with a known force for a time you choose, read its speed at the gate, then weigh a cart sealed inside a box.

you recover: mass (kg) Run the lab → Unit 5 : torque

Rotational inertia

Let a falling weight spin a disk, then use your own timing data to measure a rotational inertia you can never read off a label.

you recover: moment of inertia (kg·m²) Run the lab → Unit 6 : rotation and energy

Rolling race

Roll a ball, a disk, a hollow sphere, or a ring down a ramp and clock its speed at the bottom, then work out which shape it is.

you recover: shape factor b Run the lab → Unit 7 : oscillations

Pendulum period

Play with a live pendulum, time its swings, then use your own data to work out which world you are standing on.

you recover: g (N/kg) Run the lab → Unit 8 : fluids

Pressure and depth

Lower a pressure probe into a tank and read the gauge at different depths, then work out which fluid fills the tank.

you recover: density (kg/m³) Run the lab →
