Computational Resources for TeachingThe OSP Collection provides curriculum resources that engage students in physics, computation, and computer modeling. Computational physics and computer modeling provide students with new ways to understand, describe, explain, and predict physical phenomena. Browse the OSP simulations or learn more about our tools and curriculum pieces below. TrackerThe Tracker tool extends traditional video analysis by enabling users to create particle models based on Newton's laws. Because models synchronize with and draw themselves right on videos of real-world objects, students can test models experimentally by direct visual inspection. Curriculum PackagesOSP curriculum packages combine computer simulations with tutorial materials and student worksheets. Packages can be modified to meet the needs of faculty and students Browse curriculum resources by topic and learn how to customize packages EJS ModelingStudent modeling, the guided exploration of physical systems and concepts, is a powerful approach to engaged learning. Easy Java Simulations provides the computational tools for students and faculty to explore physics without the need for learning details of java programming. ProgrammingOpen Source Physics provides extensive resources for computational physics and physics simulations. Included are:
ToolsOSP provides several general applications for physics teaching, student activities, and curriculum distribution. These are: OSP News
