Thanks for the replies, this is helpful.
I think regardless of the limitations of the sensor to measure the higher g's, this will work well, again, in the context of a grade 5 experiment. I recently found a YT video of what I would like to do, where it looks like they used essentially the same type of sensor with some success; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gho6Z8DXm1A
This had me wondering if the microphone output (a piezo device I imagine) might serve as a proxy for measuring (in a relative sense) the really high accelerations.
