2013 Video & Image Analysis in Physics

Introduction

  • This “hands on” workshop is the introduction of video and photography analysis in Physics.  Using the free software “Tracker” from the Open Source Physics project, students are able to collect calibrated measurement data from recording practicals for post analysis in spread sheets.
  • The purpose of this workshop is directed around participants acquiring computing skills necessary for deployment of this methodology at their school site.


Who should attend?

  • Teachers of senior Physics 10-12 with basic computing skills.
