Description
Summary:To foster student motivation and engagement, we combined authentic contexts, procedures, and materials by assessing biomedical physics topics with a smartphone. Selected experiments with simple aids allow for the examination of a student's heartbeat in various ways: e.g., phonocardiography and electrocardiography. In addition, students can test their frequency-dependent hearing threshold. These contexts lead to an understanding of various physics concepts in a meaningful way.
