Looking for an app to demonstrate motion via multiple exposure images

AI Thread Summary
Introducing uniform and accelerated motion to 6th graders can be effectively demonstrated using multiple exposure photography. To achieve this, educators seek an app that facilitates serial shooting and overlays images automatically after setting a time interval. It's essential to consider that creating a motion diagram requires more than just a time interval; specifying which frames to use or employing a precise frame-strobe rate is crucial. Burst modes on smartphone cameras can capture rapid sequences, making them suitable for classroom demonstrations, particularly for falling objects. Recommended tools for this purpose include Tracker, Video Physics, Strobic, and Motion Shot, which may offer the necessary features for creating motion diagrams.

I am introducing uniform and accelerated motion in a 6th grade. To demonstrate the difference I would like to use multiple exposure photography (like in the image below) in the classroom.

There are many apps to make serial shoots and other apps to overlay them artfully. I am looking for an App to do both conveniently (automatically) after entering a time interval and hitting the button.

Does anyone have some experience with this?

To create an effect such as the one in the image you presented, you would need more than just the overall time interval as a parameter -- you'd also need to specify which frames to use, or at least supply a subject-matter-dependent high-precision frame-strobe rate:

Don't the "burst" modes on many smartphone cameras do this? Granted, you can only do this for a short period of time, but for falling objects in a classroom, that should fit the bill.

Thread 'How can we teach students the difference between sequences and series?'

Sequences and series are related concepts, but they differ extremely from one another. I believe that students in integral calculus often confuse them. Part of the problem is that: Sequences are usually taught only briefly before moving on to series. The definition of a series involves two related sequences (terms and partial sums). Both have operations that take in a sequence and output a number (the limit or the sum). Both have convergence tests for convergence (monotone convergence and...
