Pocket Labs: Doing Physics with Your Smartphone Sensors
In this concise panel episode Philip and Shauna walk listeners through how the sensors already in their smartphones can become a portable physics lab. We explain what common sensors do (accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, magnetometer), demonstrate three short experiments you can try in under ten minutes each, and share simple data-collection and analysis tips that respect listeners' limited time. The goal is practical: give teachers, students, and curious adults immediate activities that illuminate core physics concepts—motion, waves, and fields—without special equipment. We also discuss…
