Why PocketLab G-Force?

PocketLab G-Force is everything you need to bring physics concepts to life in a car small enough to fit on a Hot Wheels™ track. Measure velocity, position, g-force, rotation and direction using one device and instantly track, measure and analyze the data of any motion experiment you can imagine. Use the G-force accessories to create crash simulations or see the effects of added weight or wind in real-time. It’s serious science with the fun built in.

  • Speed Racer: How fast are you going? PocketLab G-Force is equipped with advanced sensor technology that allows it to measure the speed and distance traveled just like a real car. The speedometer data transmits wirelessly to a phone, tablet, or computer in real-time.

  • Plays Well with Others: PocketLab G-Force can race through HotWheels™ and other tracks for loops, roller coasters, and high-banked curves. 

  • High Tech: Crash cars together and measure the g-forces of a collision or a turn in the track. PocketLab G-Force has an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU) for advanced measurements, the same kind of technology used for autonomous driving.

  • Smooth Ride: G-Force is equipped with micro-ball-bearings, precision machined stainless steel axles, and fine-tuned mechanics.

  • Get Creative: You can attach bumpers, parachutes, and sails or fill the internal storage compartment with varying weights to the G-Force car to be creative with how you explore science.

  • Level Up: PocketLab G-Force is sophisticated enough to investigate college-level science concepts and simple enough to teach physics in elementary school. You can experiment with simple harmonic motion or three-dimensional kinematics with something that looks like a toy car.

  • Love Learning: Science + Play = Life-long Learning

ALIGNMENT TO NGSS, PHYSICS STANDARDS

G-force includes everything you need to teach seven NGSS Middle School Physical Science performance expectations, in addition to numerous high school physics activities, while integrating all four Engineering Design standards.

Some of the physics concepts covered by PocketLab G-Force:

  1. Position, velocity, and acceleration

  2. Energy and momentum

  3. Elastic and inelastic collisions

  4. Forces acting at a distance

  5. Energy transfer

  6. Newton's Laws of Motion

  7. Harmonic motion
