In this creative and dynamic learning tool,
Make Tracks,
you design your own roller coaster and then get to take a 3D ride in it to
test it. This is a tremendous piece of learning that has been designed by
the people at Questacon, part of the
National Science and
Technology Centre of Australia. Fantastic! |

Air tracks can be expensive and difficult
to keep running well. This learning tool called
Air Track allows your students to run a virtual track for their
experiments. Students can change the velocity and mass of the green and
red "cars" and see what happens. This fun and clever tool is brought to us
by
VisualizeScience. |

Funderstanding Roller
Coaster is the name of this learning tool. This simulator is designed
for kids who want to design their own thrilling coaster and educators who
want to use a cool activity to simulate the application of physics by
using an exciting interactive tool and access to a wonderful reference
source. This site comes to us from
Funderstanding. |

The name of this "learning tool" is called
Masses and Springs. A realistic mass and spring laboratory. Hang
masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping. Transport
the lab to different planets. A chart shows the kinetic, potential, and
thermal energy for each spring. This tool is brought to us by The
PhET
Project and made possible by the
Kavli Operating Institute. |

This ingenious "learning tool" is called
Soda
Constructor. Don't let the
name mislead you, this is one of the most creative physical science sites
we have ever seen. In
Soda
Constructor,
you use the soda constructor to make models out of masses linked by springs
and muscles. Then you can manipulate this microworld's gravity, friction,
and spring stiffness. Stunningly life-like models are the result in this
notable achievement in web learning. |

The name of this "learning tool" is called
Projectile Motion. Blast a Buick out of a cannon! Learn about
projectile motion by firing various objects. Set the angle, initial speed,
and mass. Add air resistance. Make a game out of this simulation by trying
to hit a target. This tool is brought to us by The
PhET
Project and made possible by the
Kavli Operating Institute.

Yes, it is in French, but this "learning
tool" is easy and elegant to figure out. The name is
Le Phenomene d' Acceleration. See you already know it is about
acceleration! Just click the up arrow to the right of L' Acceleration
(next to the question mark), then click Depart. The rest is up to you to
play with. This wonderful tool was developed through the
Space Museum of France.
Flash is required. |

2-D Collisions is the name of
this "learning tool". It is brought to us by a wonderful company called
Explorelearning.com.
This company has some of the most elegant and useful science simulations
available for students. They are a pay site,
but they allow you to see this Gizmo for 5 minutes
Shockwave is required. |

This "learning tool" is called
Ball and Ramp Simulation. Just grab the segments of the ramp to make
your own set of "up and downs", then push the "Start" button. This is an
extremely clever and useful tool for students to play with a distance
-time graph and even set the gravity on different planets. This tool has
been developed by Aotea Interactive
Media. |

The name of this spectacular "learning
tool" is
Charges & Fields. Charges and Fields. Move point charges around on the
playing field and then view the electric field, voltages, equipotential
lines, and more. It's colorful, it's dynamic, it's free. This tool is
brought to us by The
PhET
Project and made possible by the
Kavli Operating Institute.

Spectacular is the only word for award
winning Moovl. This is a digital
online drawing tool with lifelike dynamic properties. It allows children
to create drawings that move according to simple rules of science. The
environment simulates gravity, collision, & tension so that the pictures
move as if they were in the real world. The Java Applet allows children to
make predictions & hypotheses about how things in the world work, to
visualize their ideas, & to test them out in a trial-&-error approach. The
incredible people at Soda produced
this great "learning tool". |
