Purpose & Application: Designed for use in physics labs and classrooms; allows students to visualize linear motion and study changes in velocity and acceleration using spark-generated timing marks Included Components: Comes complete with spark timer unit and 12V power supply, clamp, tape and carbon discs; provides a consistent spark interval for accurate measurement of time and displacement in motion experiments Educational Value: Supports hands-on learning in STEM subjects; ideal for experiments involving acceleration, deceleration, and constant velocity across a measured path using ticker tape Product Dimensions: Measures 11 x 6.5 x 3 inches; compact footprint fits easily into standard lab storage; lightweight design enhances portability and ease of classroom use Weight & Build: Weighs 1.5 pounds; constructed with a sturdy exterior suitable for repeated lab use; clearly labeled inputs and outputs support intuitive setup and reliable operation The Spark Timer is an essential tool for demonstrating motion, velocity, and acceleration in physics education. By emitting sparks at uniform time intervals, the device marks paper tape that’s attached to a moving object. The spacing between the marks is then used to calculate velocity and acceleration. Perfect for high school and college-level labs, this interactive tool helps students visualize motion and connect theoretical principles with real-world measurements. The sturdy design is built for repeated use in active learning environments. Each kit includes spark tape, a carbon disc, a weight, and a clamp, making it easy to implement immediately into classroom demonstrations or lab activities.
