Open SimulatorSimulation Guidelines
How to investigate abstract physics concepts?
Begin with default presets to build an intuitive mental model, then manipulate key variables (focal length, mass, resistance, or angle) to observe dynamic relationships, and test misconception presets to identify conceptual boundaries.
How to use in classroom teaching and presentations?
Use Projector Mode to eliminate distractions on large displays. Use Share Link to distribute exact parameter states to students via hash-encoded URLs, and use Print Worksheet to generate physical inquiry sheets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What curricula and grade levels are covered?
Covers middle and high school physics (mechanics, optics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics), AP Physics, IB Physics, GCSE Foundation Maths, and introductory calculus.
Are the simulation dynamics mathematically rigorous?
All kinetic and optical phenomena are computed numerically using governing physical laws in real time, with misconception presets verifying edge conditions.
Do these simulations require browser plugins or student logins?
No plugins or user accounts are required. All simulations run purely client-side via native HTML5 Canvas on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
