Go! Motion Sensor

Students learn experientially as they graph the motion of a ball, a cart on a ramp, pendulum motion, or themselves.

The new Go! Motion is easy to use, allowing students to focus on learning scientific concepts instead of setting up the lab. Customize Go! Motion to your experiment with the pivoting head and sensitivity switch. Measure motion data as close as 15 cm and as far away as 6 m, horizontally, vertically, or anywhere in between. Data-collection software is included, so you can see data graphed in real time, examine data point by point, annotate different experiment runs, and more!

Go! Motion Key Features

Make Science a Visual Adventure

Students learn experientially as they graph the motion of a ball, a cart on a ramp, pendulum motion, or themselves. The new Go! Motion is easy to use, allowing students to focus on learning scientific concepts instead of setting up the lab.

Cover All the Bases
Go! Motion's head pivots to match the needs of your lab. Flip the head halfway for monitoring the motion of a cart on a track. Or flip the 180° to record motion data from a tripod.

Get a Clear Signal
Go! Motion features reduced noise and automatic temperature compensation to ensure motion readings are continuously accurate.

Adjustable Sensitivity
The sensitivity switch lets you customize settings to your experiment.

Get Closer
Measure motion data as close as 15 cm and as far away as 6 m!

Free Bundled Software
Go! Motion comes bundled with our Logger Lite™ data-collection software so you can see data graphed in real time, examine data point by point, annotate different experiment runs, and more!
