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!).
* Play your video back in slow motion to closely examine your movements.
* 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! The new 2023 edition of the curriculum is freely available at: https://noticing.nysci.org/apps/playground-physics/
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, Volumize, and Picture Dots.

We heard your top request - add videos from the Camera Roll. Now any video can be imported and analyzed in Playground Physics. Just remember - the camera has to stay still, and the motion must be entirely parallel to the camera for the data to be meaningful.
And we added a Starter Pack of videos with fun, everyday motions that make great performances to analyze - jumping rope, shooting a basketball, stomp rockets.

Updated for iOS 9.
Fixed:
- Crash when opening saved performances on iOS 9 devices.
- Video export could become unresponsive, and fail to complete video port.
- Disabled bitcode to ensure compatibility with third party frameworks.
- Positioning of video and other UI elements.
- Workaround iOS 9 issue where texture images were not loaded in SpriteKit nodes.
Known Issue:
- Disabled Turtle Mode on iOS 9. We love the slo-motion view, but there is an issue in iOS9 that prevents it from working properly. We’ve disabled Turtle Mode for now, but hope it can return after a future update.

Gpmoto39,
Works great for high school conceptual physics student use
I've been searching for an app that my students can use more accurately time motion of falling objects and rolling objects, and pendulum motion. This is simple to use,quick to learn, and even gives average velocity between multiple points on a video. Cool speedometer on screen, and on screen graph of speed between multiple point.
Higgins_STEM,
Helpful option
I’m a high school physics teacher, and this app is better than anything else free out there on mobile. I like that students can upload videos they took previously, but just watch out bc it only accepts landscape orientation. I also would really like to see some slow mo options, because the time intervals aren’t adjustable, so it works best on fairly slow moving objects. Otherwise, works well.
MaxxHead,
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!
bbecker2,
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.
Bookee,
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.

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.
