Abstract

When organizing activities in which students design and conduct physics experiments—especially those involving multiple hypotheses to be tested—the current laboratory equipment often lacks the flexibility needed to accommodate the diversity of students’ experimental designs. This paper analyzes several advantages and limitations of existing physics experiment kits as well as robotic kits that have been employed in physics teaching. Building on this analysis, we propose the development of a new physics education kit. The kit leverages the mechanical flexibility of LEGO bricks, the processing power of the ESP32 microcontroller, and the Phyphox application to support students in data representation and analysis. The paper also presents different experimental approaches using the proposed kit in teaching the concepts of friction in the high school physics curriculum. Through these examples, the strengths of the kit are highlighted in enabling students to design and implement diverse experimental solutions while engaging with these topics.
