Did you know that your smartphone can contain up to 18 different types of sensors? In this article we review them and explain what they can be used for! Table of content The different categories of sensors What is MEMS technology? The accelerometer - The gyroscope - The orientation sensor - The pedometer The thermometer - The barometer - The humidity sensor The Magnetometer - The GPS - The Lidar The photoelectric cell - The CMOS sensor - The heart rate sensor T

In this article, we propose five activities in the field of mathematics to be carried out with your smartphone. They can be offered to...

Calculating the speed of sound becomes a simple and engaging task with the use of a smartphone, transforming this commonly abstract concept into a tangible learning experience. For students, this exercise is particularly gratifying as it demystifies the complexities of sound waves, allowing them to explore its various physical properties through a device that's a familiar staple in their everyday lives. In this article, we introduce seven experiments, each utilizing a smartph

Tone generators, also called frequency generators or synthesizers, can be used to conduct many exciting scientific experiments to understand sound waves . In this article we describe 6 science projects that use the tone generator and which can be adapted to your specific needs. Table of content What is a tone generator ? - Create an acoustic beat - Generate an anti-sound - Synthesize the timbre of a oboe - Perform an audiogram - Protect yourself from too loud sounds

You can see the swell, a mechanical wave that propagates on the surface of the water; you can also see an earthquake; but can we see a sound wave? And what if it were possible? We will see that this seemingly simple question opens up exciting educational scenarios for using the inquiry method with students. 1. Can we see a sound ? Experience shows that we cannot see a sound: whether the music is loud or not, whether a note is high or low, the visual appearance of the world a

Making and analyzing a motion analysis (or kinematic) video with your students is a great way to engage them. To avoid wasting too much...

The movement of athletes is one of the most interesting subjects of kinematic study. The precision of gestures, the transformation of energies, the complexity of trajectories are all exciting subjects to study for the student, in a field that is generally familiar to him. In this post, we analyze the most complex discipline of athletics: pole jumping. This movement is interesting because it makes it possible to study the multiple transformations of energy: kinetic energy of t
