We worked with Microsoft to bring Go Direct sensors into their Hacking STEM world of rich, project-based activities that engage students and 2019 Best Green Companies challenge them to solve problems. We worked with Google to David and Christine Vernier 2019 in Oregon integrate Go Direct sensor support into the Google Workbench Co-Presidents and Co-Founders platform. You can now use Go Direct sensors in Google’s [email protected] block-based programming canvas. We have also adapted some [email protected] 2019 Corporate Philanthropy of our classroom-proven lessons into their rich, online content Award environment. Additionally, we are pleased to partner with OpenSciEd, Makeblock, Pivot Interactives, SAM Labs, and LEGO® Education. We have always been excited to work on innovative uses for sensors to bring hands-on exploration to students, and these partnerships help us do just that. On the Cover

Depending on your budget and your needs, we offer three ways to Dynamics Cart and Track Systems collect motion data.
1 Go Direct Sensor Cart GDX The wireless Go Direct® Sensor Cart includes an optical encoder on a wheel to sense the displacement of the cart, on or off track. No interface is needed to use this system with our free Graphical Analysis™ 4 app. Students can perform impulse and momentum experiments with the built-in force sensor, and the 3-axis accelerometer means you can take your Sensor Cart off campus to investigate accelerations on a swing or merry-go-round.

* U.S. Patent No. 9,488,503
3 A Traditional Motion Detector GDX LQ The Motion Detector is the classic method for collecting position data. Use a Motion Detector bracket to measure cart motion for the entire length of the track. You can even use two Motion Detectors at once to study cart collisions.
Unlike the Motion Encoder or Go Direct Sensor Cart, the Motion Detector can be used for dynamics experiments other than cart-on-track experiments. Students can graph their own walking motion, study a simple pendulum, or graph a ball toss with a Motion Detector. If you want to use a Motion Detector for all motion experiments, get the Dynamics Cart and Track System without the Motion Encoder or Go Direct Sensor Cart.
