These versatile sensors mean you can conduct many different experiments, encouraging a deep understanding of core physics principles - and you don’t need any experience in coding, electronics or using Arduino products to get started.
Introducing the Science Journal app
Enhance the learning experience with the Science Journal app, designed for real-time data collection and analysis inside and outside the classroom. Connected to the Arduino board via Bluetooth®, the app facilitates the seamless transition of data, enabling students to record, interpret, and gain meaningful insights from their experiments in real-time. And no coding experience is required!
Guided courses for your journey - Explore Physics
The Explore Physics course provides a comprehensive learning platform, including detailed, step-by-step hands-on experiments and support for educators. The 10 hands-on experiments, which you can teach in any order, follow a similar structure based on the scientific method and fit into at least one of these areas of the curriculum: forces, motion, and interactions; waves, oscillations, and electromagnetic radiation; energy and energy transfer; and structure and properties of matter. It’s aligned to various educational curricula, such as AP Physics, IB Diploma, NGSS, NYS, and England's Key Stages 3, 4 & 5.
Learning outcomes
Students become proficient with various practical physics methods, including data analysis, formulating hypotheses, and conducting open-ended experiments. They also hone their future skills by working both individually or in groups on projects that have real-world applications and relevance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the kit?
The Science Kit R3 comes in a handy storage box, along with an Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect, the new Arduino Science Carrier R3 with a wide ecosystem of sensors embedded, and all the parts needed to assemble and carry out the experiments. You will only need to add some easy-to-find household items to keep experimenting, and a mobile device to log your data. You will have full access to our exclusive online content platform. It is required to install the Science Journal app to work with the kit. The app is free and compatible with Android and iOS operating systems.
Do I need any prior experience with coding?
No, you don’t need any prior coding experience. The Nano RP2040 Connect is preloaded with a sketch to run your experiments straight out-of-the-box! You think about science, we’ll do the rest.
What languages are available?
The Science Kit R3 is currently available in English. More languages will be added.
Where can I find building instructions for my Science Kit R3?
The kit doesn’t require assembly. The Nano RP2040 Connect and Science Carrier R3 contain most sensors on board. You can find the URL course.arduino.cc/explore-physics of the experiments under the lid of the Science Kit R3 box.
Does my kit need batteries?
Yes, the Science Kit R3 requires the use of an external power source. You can use the computer as a power source also you may want to use a portable power bank (like the one used for charging your phone or tablet) or the JST connector to run remote experiments. Four AA batteries are required (not included in the kit). It is recommended to connect the Science Carrier R3 using the USB-C® connector, not from the Nano RP2040 Connect.
