We are now completing labs in the analog, old-fashion by hand, method and digitally. They are comparing the accuracy of their measurements between the two versions. Data collected is cleaner for calculations. We are now able to perform higher level labs based on AP Physics 1 Free-Response questions. They are finally seeing the connection between what the problem states and how to properly answer the questions with more evidence and reasonings. The academic discourse during lab investigations have been more on topic rather than blaming each other for not conducting the procedure correctly. \r\n\r\nThe Go Motion ensures the data is collected when everyone is ready since the \"collect\" button needs to be pushed. The students are more excited to do experiments with the digital devices since it mimics what they see in the real-world industry workers. Even though it is an AP Physics class, a few students plan to go into a technical field rather than college. Updating the equipment in the classroom is slowly exposing and preparing the next generation of workers and thinkers.
