Would you like to analyse sound waves, investigate a motion of a trampoline jumper, or create a dynamic model of a cooling process?
To help you to bring technology, and authentic practical investigations and projects, into the Physics lessons we offer a solution, in which we combine software, hardware, and teacher support. Using our solution you can easily explore topics, such as Mechanics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Waves, Oscillations, Electricity, Magnetism, and more.
Coach 7
Software is the most important part of our solution. It drives the system and defines what and how you can use technology in your classroom. Our Coach 7 is the most versatile and complete software for Physics Education. It integrates a unique combination of tools, which resemble technologies used by “real” scientists. Students can work in much the same way as professionals do: collect high-quality, real-time data, construct and use computer models, use simulations and visualizations, and compare results from experiments, models, and theory.
Data logging
With an interface and sensors, many different physics experiments can be carried out. Here an example of measuring sound beats is shown.
Control
Using control the experiments can be automated or extended with actuators. Here, an example of using an immersion heater together with current and voltage sensors to determine specific heat capacity of metals, is shown.
Spectrometer
With the CMA Spectrometer Emission spectra can be recorded and analysed. Here an example of an energy saving lamp emission spectrum is shown.
Data Video
Videos of real objects’ motions, attractive events, and “difficult” experiments can be analysed. Here an example of video analysis of a trampoline jumper motion is shown.
Data Image
Shapes on photos or drawings and motion on stroboscopic photos can be analysed. Here an example of image analysis of a stroboscopic foto of a falling ball is shown.
Data Analysis & Processing
Many analysis and processing tools can be used to identify features and interpret data. Here the Area tool is shown.
Modeling
Using and constructing computational models helps to understand theory and solve realistic problems. Here an example of modelling of a parachute jumper motion is shown.
Animations
Using and creating animations helps to visualise phenomena and make connection to models or measurements. Here an example of an animated motion of a pendulum is shown.
Spreadsheet
Can be used to work with data sets entered manually or imported from other resources. Here an example of study of the voltage of different batteries is shown.
Interfaces
All CMA interfaces are designed for use in Education. We offer a selection of interfaces ranging from simple, low-cost, up to powerful, advanced devices. This gives you a unique opportunity to select a device, which best suits your teaching needs. In Physics the following interfaces can be useful.
WiLab
Easy and affordable
Simple but powerful with two sensor inputs and built-in RGB LED and a buzzer. The best solution for mobile devices.
CoachLab II+
Robust and also for control
Our bestseller, USB lab interface, that offers a unique combination of sensor inputs and control outputs.
VinciLab 2
Portable and graphical
Modern, advanced, with a high sampling frequency, can be used standalone, with computers and mobile devices.
sensors
We have many sensors suitable to use in a variety of Physics experiments.
Lab equipment
We also offer additional lab equipment for easy use with our sensors.
