New York Hall Of Science
Since its founding at the 1964-65 New York WorldÍs Fair, the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) has inspired millions of people„children, teachers, and families_ by offering creative, participatory ways to learn and encouraging people to explore their curiosity and nurture their creativity. Located in Queens, the most ethnically diverse county in the country, NYSCI welcomes 500,000 visitors each year and serves thousands more through outreach in schools, teacher professional development, and participation in a variety of public events and research initiatives. NYSCI is a leader in the science museum field, recognized for its highly regarded exhibitions, programs, and products, all of which are informed by strategies of engagement called Design, Make, Play. The defining characteristics of Design, Make, Play „ open-ended exploration, imaginative learning, personal relevance, deep engagement, and delight „ are the ingredients that inspire passionate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learners. NYSCI engages diverse communities of learners, particularly young people, in STEM, by fostering the excitement of self-directed exploration and by tapping into the joy of learning intrinsic in young peopleÍs play. Our transformative model for STEM exploration invites broad participation and makes engagement and learning irresistible. NYSCI has approximately 120 full-time and over 180 part-time staff members.

Description:

Discover and explore the physics in your own movements. Record a video of you or your friends, tap points along the way to trace a path of motion, and discover the motion, forces, and energy involved.

Educators can make Newton’s Laws of motion come alive with an app that was named one of Fast Company’s Top 10 mobile apps! Join a community of educators making inspiring learning experiences with Noticing Tools.

“Playground Physics is one of the most fun units that I’ve done in a long time. I’ve been teaching about 12 years, and everybody had a great time.” - Stacey, 8th grade science teacher

In Playground Physics, you can:

* Record a video of a performance or choose a stock video.
* Tap points along the video to trace a path of motion.
* Examine your performance closely with scrubbing video controls.
* Enter known measurements (height of an object, mass of the object being tracked) in English or metric units to reveal accurate data of your performance.
* Explore interactive, scrubbable graphs synchronized to the video playback. Graphs display the distance traveled and speed along the path in horizontal and vertical vectors.
* Add stickers to mark important moments in the performance (and for a laugh!).
* Explore how distance, speed, and direction changes when things move.
* Understand how a person's or object's potential and kinetic energy change as they move.
* Save your performance as videos with data overlays or editable scenes.
* Share your performance videos or transfer editable scenes to other cloud services and apps through use of the Files app.

Ideal for middle and high school school science classrooms, Playground Physics and accompanying curriculum activities are aligned to and embody the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by integrating core ideas, scientific practices, cross-cutting concepts, and delight!

Playground Physics is one of the Noticing Tools (TM) from the New York Hall of Science. The full suite includes Choreo Graph, Fraction Mash, Size Wise, and Picture Dots.

Noticing Tools were developed in collaboration with Local Projects, an award-winning media design firm based in New York. http://localprojects.com/

Helpful, but...

...where's the slow-motion? As a martial artist, I bought this give me an idea of my speed and relative power and hopefully to help me better break down my form and look for my mistakes. Can you PLEASE fix the lack of slo-mo?? Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Getting with the 21st century

The app was released with iOS 9 on the horizon and still crashes due to developers not having played catchup. Great idea, for the app, and I'm sure the tool is useful on older devises, but I traded in my commodore 64 a long time ago.

DONT BUY THIS

Well don't buy this it won't work it just sends you on to your home screen

A long way to go to get to Useful.

This app has the feel of a hastily put together, half-formed thought. Tagging the position of an object in a video is crazy imprecise... the position marker is large, making it difficult to center, and there's no algorithm or tool to keep the marker on-target. This results in a jagged path, and because of this no single piece of data is accurate or useful. In addition, you get values for instants in time, but you do not get graphs of position, velocity, acceleration... no vectors... I teach physics, and I can honestly find no place in my classroom for this app. I am not sure at all to whom they are marketing this app.

Wish you could try apps before you them

This might be a great app, but it isn't what I was looking for. I know it was only $2.99, but it's useless to me, so I'm stuck with it. I really do wish we could try before we buy. You can't even return it.

AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
Security Framework
Secure the data your app manages. Protect information and control access to your app.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
