Surrounded by Fields
Surrounded by Magnetic Fields
a blog entry by Ann-Marie Pendrill
"During 2019, I have enjoyed the privilege of being part of the international advisory board for Physics Toolbox AR. Trying out the app, I have been fascinated by the possibilities to catch invisible magnetic field lines and discovering the direction of north by maximising the horizontal component of the arrows. Travelling to Australia, via Singapore, opened new possibilities to discern how the magnetic field varies with location... "

This Spanish-language article demonstrates student gains on an assessment about free-fall following an activity with smartphones.
This article presents a very simple way for students to determine the location of the accelerometer inside of the smartphone.
Use a falling weight to generate power to light LEDs. Different weights generate different light intensities (measured with Physics Toolbox) for varying amounts of time.
Physics Toolbox around the Web
Researchers use Physics Toolbox to explore the performance of optical gyroscopes.
Indian students participating in a one-year astronomy course used Physics Toolbox to monitor changing light intensity during the annular eclipse in December.
The New Indian Express described the community excitement, despite the cloudy weather.
