Hi Gang!
Welcome back, hope you all had a great Easter break!
I say bring on more public holidays! We had the Thursday off as well so 5 days off LOVE IT!

My real reason for this post is Im trying to buy and source an accelerometer. I have tried some suppliers but cant seem to find one. Are they called something else?
Can anyone give me a direction?

Do you have a data logger? You should be able to get one to attach to that from wherever you got the data logger. Happy hunting!

This is HIGH tech accelerator I am not sure that your HOD will approve it,but you can try to impress him with technology.

I bought one yr before last, from serrata. Its just 2 perspex plates that can be filled with coloured liquid, and can be attached to a momentum trolley. The clear perspex sides have a grid & measurements on them that can be read. The physics teacher thinks it works well. Low cost as well

It just what we are looking for but its not in the catalogue as accelerometer, if you get a chance can you check their catalogue and see if you can see it.
Forever greatful
