Description/ main idea

The digital video analysis is a technique that allows you to connect the physical phenomena present in a video, to the study of the physical and mathematical concepts applied in the process. It is a low cost technique, since it requires no more than a computer and video recordings, so it is capable of being operated by the student himself. In the case will I work here I will try to illustrate the applicability of this method to the Physics / Astronomy. This technique can become even more powerful as a teaching tool, the processing of data independently do a worksheet and if you later associate mathematical modeling.

uses of movies to learn Physics with Digital Video Analysis

Description

The students can use a video of an astronaute jumping on the moon to achieve the lunar acceleration using digital video analysis techniques.

They can use this technique to explore other movements of physical experiments or usual movements of ordinary things.
