In this session students will learn the meaning of physics in a practical way, so they will prove a physical theorem by using technology instead of complicated equations in schools.
Tubes
Laser cut boxes
LDR
Ultrasonic
Breadboard
Arduino boards
Arduino cables
LCD Screen
Jumpers
9V Batteries
Batteries connectors
Extensions
Laptops
Discuss with students the challenge, design specifications, and the best solutions to prove the equation.
Case study: The intensity of light at the change of distance
Introduce for the students what they will make today in the workshop, and demonstrate how does it work.
The device has two sensors (light and distance sensors) inside the tube connected with a microcontroller called Arduino.
in the end, you will use a torch to light up the tube inside and take the measured values to prove the equations.
Explain what is the difference between software and hardware
Software, in its most general sense, is a set of instructions or programs instructing a computer to do specific tasks.
Hardware is best described as any physical component of a computer system that contains a circuit board, ICs, or other electronics.
Software and Hardware
explain the input devices and give some examples.
An input device is any hardware device that sends data to a computer, allowing you to interact with and control the computer.
Some animals and applications use the ultrasonic sound waves
