Luna_ParkCider House Tech and PASCO are once again delighted to be apart of the VCE Physics Days at Luna Park in 2012. Our continued involvement underlines our commitment to providing educators with innovative solutions for teaching science.

With students being able to see the laws of physics in operation in a fun enviroment, the results can be amazing. Concepts that were once foreign are now easy to understand and the students can answer the age old question every student has asked "When will I ever use this in the outside world?"

We cannot encourage schools to participate in this event enough. As in past years we will have dataloggers available free of charge for schools to use (bookings essential) and also provide free wifi for teachers and Students alike to dowload the latest SPARKVue software free of charge to their iPads, iPhones and iPod Touch. The SPARKVue App utilises the internal accelerometer to measure x,y and z axis Acceleration plus measures the acceleration along the resultant.

It is a great day out of the classroom and gives your students the edge.

We can't wait to see you there.
