The name of this "learning tool" is Pendulum Experiment and has been developed by Fu-Kwun Hwong. You can perform classic pendulum experiments with your students. A period-initial angle plot is generated automatically, just click/drag the mouse and wait. Try and play with it to find out more features. If the initial set up looks difficult, click on the "simplify version link". |

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. |

The name of this "learning tool" is called Heat Transfer between Metal and Water. First choose the metal you wish to test, then the mass and temperature of the metal. Then place the metal in water and watch what happens to your graph! This simple and elegant demonstration is brought to us by the Department of Chemistry at Iowa State University. |

The name of this spectacular "learning tool" is Charges & 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. |
