The linear and rotational dynamics kit includes a dynamic track, handheld datalogger with LCD screen and a range of sensors and accessories that allow students and teachers to carry out a range of experiments in dynamics. The datalogger can be used independently of a PC for many experiments with data automatically passed to Excel for further analysis. The datalogger has a VGA output, making the equipment perfect for classroom demonstrations.

The equipment is supplied with a suite of worksheets and teacher support material.
