Kinematics/Grades 8–11
Projectile Motion
Launch angle, speed and drag on one screen. Students predict the landing point, then check it against the traced parabola.

Physics you can move the sliders on.
Physics Simulation Lab turns the principles behind the textbook — motion, energy, waves, optics, fields — into simulations students can change and break. They set gravity, mass and angle themselves, and the equations stop being something to memorise.
Questions go straight to the person who builds it.
Live · pendulum waveT = 2π√(L/g)
Fifteen pendulums, each a little shorter than the last. Drag gravity to Moon (1.62) or Jupiter (24.79) and watch the wave pattern stretch or tighten.

Six simulations to start with
Each one covers a principle that is hard to see and easy to misread. Pick the one that matches this week's topic — or ask for one that isn't here yet.
Oscillations/Grades 9–12
Pendulum & Simple Harmonic Motion
Change length, mass and gravity and see which one actually changes the period — the classic misconception, resolved in thirty seconds.

Conservation laws/Grades 9–12
Collisions & Momentum
Elastic, inelastic and everything between. A running tally of momentum and kinetic energy shows what is conserved and what is not.

Waves and sound/Grades 8–12
Waves & Interference
Two sources, one ripple tank. Slide frequency and phase to build standing waves, beats and the double-slit pattern.

Optics/Grades 7–11
Lenses & Ray Optics
Drag the object, drag the lens, watch the image flip. Focal length and the thin-lens equation update as the rays move.

Electricity/Grades 9–12
Electric Fields & Circuits
Place charges and watch the field lines redraw, or wire a circuit and see current, voltage and resistance move together.

In the classroom
Three moves, one lesson
The lab is built around the one thing a real experiment gives you and a diagram never does: the chance to be wrong out loud and find out immediately.
- 01
Open the simulation
Share a link or project it. Students land straight in the lab — no login screen between them and the physics.
- 02
Change one variable
Double the mass. Halve the length. Move gravity to the Moon. The class predicts first, then watches what actually happens.
- 03
Explain the result
Readouts and graphs give the class something concrete to argue about — and a worksheet to write the reasoning down.
Designed for the room it runs in
Built for a 45-minute lesson
Every simulation opens on one screen with three or four sliders. No setup, no accounts for students, no lab equipment to book.
Numbers next to the picture
Live readouts of velocity, energy, period and force sit beside the animation, so the graph and the motion are never separate ideas.
Predict, then check
Each lab ships with a short prediction prompt and a worksheet, so students commit to an answer before the simulation gives it away.
Runs on whatever the school has
Plain web app — Chromebooks, tablets, the interactive whiteboard, or the teacher's laptop over a projector. Nothing to install.
