Did you know smartphones, with the right apps, can turn into physics experiments? Smartphones have accelerometers, barometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, microphones, and light sensors. This fun app can graph out the raw sensor data, and also has a set of physics experiments you can do with it, such as determining the speed of an elevator. I've tried out the graphs of the sensor data and it's fascinating. I haven't tried any of the physics experiments. I just installed the app today. The app was produced by RWTH Aachen University in Aachen, Germany. (RWTH stands for Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule, in case you want to know.)
