Chamber of Motion

Enable students to

1.	Experience the equivalence between “at rest” and “uniform motion”
2.	Make use of Newton’s laws of motion to solve problems
3.	Practise plotting of a-t and v-t graph, and determine displacement
4.	Measure motion of a car and manipulate collected data

In a double-lesson, teachers could

1.	Demonstrate the use of accelerometer, by mounting it on a trolley in laboratory
2.	Arouse students’ interest in how acceleration can be measured inside an isolated chamber
3.	Guide students to practise Newton’s laws of motion and various motion graphs
4.	Encourage discussion on new design of accelerometer to be used in space
5.	Assign students to investigate motion of a car in daily-life situations
