Easy to use – Vernier Video Physics Review

I tried this app in class with my students today. I demo'd it quickly, then had them video a ball being tossed straight up and look at the graphs. I was amazed at how quickly they caught on and the quality of the graphs they got. It only took them about 10 minutes. Now that I know it's pretty quick, we can analyze many different types of motion. It is limited by the quality of the video, faster things tend to get blurred. There is the ability to zoom in on objects moving slower to get a more accurate positioning of them at various time intervals. I found with slower moving objects, it was better to skip ahead an equal number of frames. I only wish it had the ability to find the slope of the graphs, maybe it does and I didn't find it.
