Teaching Harmonic Motion Online Using Tracker
A University of Cincinnati physics laboratory that demonstrates how Tracker, together with prerecorded videos, can be used to deliver online force and motion experiments that maintain the rigor and essential features of in-person labs. The Harmonic Motion experiment is organized around a central research question that explicitly targets causal and hypothetical reasoning embedded in cycles of inquiry, reflection, evaluation, and communication of outcomes.
