In our latest lab we got to experiment with a Wireless Dynamics Sensor System (WDSS) named Foucault31. We wen't outside to collect most of our data. The three graphs below are of our optional test in which we decided to hold the sensor in our hand and spin in circles.
 |
| Kira spins! |
 |
| Katelyn spins! |
 |
| Kira vs Katelyn spin! |
The next two graphs are of me and Katelyn running 25 meters. The third is of our compared results.
 |
| Kira runs 25meters |
 |
| Katelyn runs 25meters |
 |
| Kira's vs Katelyn's runs! |
These next two graphs are of our hops 15 meters. The third one is our hops in comparison.
 |
| Kira hops 15meters |
 |
| Katelyn hops 15 meters |
 |
| Kira vs Katelyn hops! |
If we compare my run to my hops we see that my hops spike in the positive and in the negative regions of the graph.
 |
| Kira's hops vs runs! |
The fact that not only the force graph spikes but the x, y, and z accelerations also have dramatic spikes shows that it's not just the force put on the detector but other factors are effecting how our action effects the object that is the subject of the experiment.
At the beginning of our lab we were allowed to
mess around and experiment with the detectors. While we were experimenting these were some of our results.
 |
| Mildly waving the sensor back and forth |
 |
| Random waving and moving of the detector |
 |
| Katelyn makes a tree! |
This was a fun lab and I hope our next one will be just as exciting as this one!
