Implementation of modular smartphone experiments in physics lessons using the phyphox:kit

Journal of Physics Conference Series, vol. 3280, pp. 012037

Abstract

Abstract The research approach aims to increase acceptance of smartphone experiments in physics lessons by distributing materials and offering teacher support for these experiments using the free phyphox app, which turns smartphones into mobile measuring instruments. The phyphox:kit includes worksheets, accompanying materials, and accessories for experiments across the core physics curriculum for students aged 10 to 16 as well as materials for a 90-minute introductory lesson. A study is evaluating the materials in the kit as they are used in school practice. Up to 23 schools are currently participating in the ongoing pilot study. The study also examines possible changes in teachers’ attitudes towards the use of smartphone experiments in science lessons when they are supported with comprehensive materials for introducing the experiments.
