## Abstract

In this paper we discuss the use of sensors incorporated in mobile devices as possible mobile laboratories at the service of teaching experimental sciences. Mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, laptops, microbit cards, are a resource for making measurements of the physical world, since they have a set of built-in sensors that allow to measure position, linear speed, angular speed, acceleration, pressure, sound, color, magnetic field, proximity or luminosity, among others. Also, these devices have greatly improved the performance of their video cameras, allowing to easily shoot at high speed and high resolution. Given its portability it is possible to work in the laboratory itself or in other areas such as a gym, a park or your own home, transcending the traditional scope of the laboratory. In general, the measurements obtained can be analyzed in the device itself or uploaded to the cloud to be analyzed la
