Practical Investigations 

Use the Vu+ Push Button Switches to investigate a number of scientific experiments such as:

• Reaction Time Game
• Counting objects (traffic, people, animals, etc.)
• Measure speed (cars, people, etc.)
• Record the differences in time taken to walk, run or hop over the same distance.
• Record the time taken by a vehicle to pass from one point to another
• Introducing the idea of the computer acting as a stopwatch e.g. starting and stopping timing.
• Introducing the fact that speed can be calculated directly if the distance between the start and finish line is used
