Poor man's acceleration sensor Ages: 16-17    Unit: Poor man's trilogy

 


Keywords
RCX, ROBOLAB, robolab, rcx

Acceleration is a physical concept that is difficult to understand, although you can feel
it when driving on a roller coaster. This sensor might help kids to realize how
acceleration can be quantified. It got its name, because it is made of a few LEGO pieces,
the RCX, and some nuts and screws only.
