“…Therefore, the Arduino platform has been used in various physics and chemistry experiments [3,4]. There is a variety of experimental set-ups reported in the literature, which can be used in teaching kinematics, based either on traditional instrumentation or on microcontrollers [5][6][7][8][9]. However, we have not found works exploiting the power of modern smartphones in combination with microcontrollers for kinematics experiments in class.…”

In this work, we designed and implemented an Arduino-based experiment to study one-dimensional uniform linear motion. The position of a small vehicle running at a constant velocity in one dimension, is measured using an ultrasonic sensor. A Bluetooth module connected to an Arduino board is paired with a smartphone, where data are acquired and position vs time curves of the vehicle are plotted on the smartphone’s screen. Students can share the experimental data via their smartphones and study uniform linear motion through guided experiments. The educational experience of the classroom implementation of the project is also presented. The results show that pairing an Arduino-based sensor with an android device, improves students’ comprehension of motion, enhances their motivation and cultivates positive attitude and anticipation for the forthcoming science lessons.

“…Following this thought in a contemporary way, the concepts are being elaborated in a modernized way because the scientists are improving the equipment of observation and investigation, arriving in fact and in a summary way, the theoretical discussion of the movement, speed, and acceleration in the interval of time (Çoban & Erol, 2021;Tobias & Strüder, 2020).…”

The work discusses the analysis of the speed and acceleration of two mobiles in the study of one-dimensional movement as part of the study of kinematics, addressing in the classroom the experimental part, being projected on the board by the data show projector, where students individually, configure the system in order to observe the behavior of the blue and red furniture, comparing with the theoretical discussion also developed in the classroom. We address in an introductory way how the thinkers, philosophers, and scientists of the time of Mesopotamia and the Middle East dealt with the question of the movement of bodies and the mixture of what they believed about religion and mythology. The proposal of the operations in the simulator makes the students seek their questions and raise questions to colleagues and the teacher because, in addition to enriching the teaching-learning process, it motivates students for future proposals and consequently eases understanding of the functioning of physical theories. At the end of the simulation, we discuss the results, understanding what can change in the behavior of a mobile in front of the acceleration activation about the constant uniform movement.

“…In this context, Arduino microcontrollers emerge as an easily accessible and inexpensive electronic data collection tool that is presented by today's technologies (Erol and Oğur, 2023;Çoban and Erol, 2021). Arduino microprocessors allow the science and physics educators to design and propose almost any experiment that can measure and teach countless concepts based on available appropriate sensors.…”

This study advances a STEM teaching proposal and aims to determine spring constant of a spring pendulum by means of an Arduino microprocessor. The measurements are managed by simply letting the spring pendulum to oscillate freely and recording the distance perceived by the distance sensor-Arduino system as a function of time. The mean periods are estimated by using displacement-time plots of the harmonic motion and the results are used to estimate the spring constant. The spring constant is also determined conventionally by employing Hooke's law a number of times. The relative error rate between the two results is found to be about % 6.00 which is pretty acceptable. This approach is important in the sense that it is inexpensive and also encourages students to learn how to use the Arduino microprocessor. The approach adds to physics education efforts due to creating an enjoyable and beneficial teaching-learning environment.
