Item Picture
written by Tom Henderson
This collection by features interactive Shockwave activities that simulate a variety of physical situations. Students manipulate variables and observe the outcome on the physical system being modeled. Topics include graphing motion, free body diagrams, projectile motion, uniform circular motion, gravitation, orbital motion, time dilation, wave patterns, light refraction, lenses, and more.

This resource is part of The Physics Classroom web site, a growing collection of resources for teachers and learners of introductory physics.

Please note that this resource requires Shockwave.
