Mr. Brad Goral, chemistry teacher at New Trier High School in Winnetka, IL, sent us some
photos that he took during his recent Smart Sensors unit.
"The apparatus made by the students were well-constructed, and fun for kids," said
Mr. Goral. "They are all prototypes and simply illustrate the concept," explained
Mr. Goral. "The piezo film is mounted in the apparatus and did produce a useful signal," which
was the main goal that the students were trying to accomplish.
