Force Plate Attachment for Vernier Dual Range Force Sensor

This allows your to use your Vernier Force sensor as a mini-force plate. It is suitable for many experiments measuring forces, or changes in force, too small to be measured well with Vernier's Force Plate.. I created this so we could try to learn how a chain fountain works.

You can see a video I created below showing the force plate in action. I used an early prototype on the top sensor holding the beads and the final design holding the catch tray on the bottom sensor. While my students and I never arrived at an answer to how it works we could use the modeling skills we developed in class to begin to create a model of what is happening.
