Description
Combining the embodied experiences of forces in amusement rides with simple experiments, mathematical descriptions, video recordings and sensor data can give students a deeper understanding of the meaning and consequences of Newton's laws [1]. Air pressure and rotation data can be collected by a smartphone at the same time as accelerometer data, capturing different aspects of the experience and offering many examples connecting mathematics and physics [2,3]. However, data are sometimes surprising and the interpretation can be challenging. Your own examples are welcome!
