This is a student or teacher controlled realistic 3d simulation of an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a dry cell. This experiment allows you to measure the internal resistance of a single dry cell. The idea of a battery having a resistance can seem counter intuitive. Surely the battery is the opposite of a resistor it is creating a current, not preventing one? However, this is not correct. The chemical processes in a battery creates the movement of electrons, but these still have to overcome whatever the resistance, no matter how small, of the battery itself. If it helps think of the battery as something that incorporates a resistor, then you can treat this resistor exactly as you would any other resistor in the circuit. The user needs to complete the circuit by clicking on pairs of connectors to connect them. The user has control of the position of the rheostat slider and the power to the circuit. The user can position him.herself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings from the volt and amp meters. The simulation is perfect for demonstrating this experiment in front of the class but can also be used by students in a variety of ways: Directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. For home-learning where there is no access to a laboratory. To make up for an experiment missed due to sickness. As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class. .

I’ve found your software very useful when a concept comes up with pupils and I have to demonstrate something really quickly without having the time to set up a formal experiment for them. The graphics are great and I really like the ability to move around the classroom and observe the experiment from different aspects. I am far more likely to go to one of your interactive experiments if it’s demonstrating something that we don’t have equipment for.“ Andrew McPhee Wellington School I thought that the controls were pretty easy to get used to and the detail in the apparatus was excellent being able to zoom in and see the set up of the multi-meter and read scales, being careful of parallax. This type of software is most useful in experiments which can’t be done in the lab like the gravity on the moon or where the equipment is too expensive or difficult to use like the Millikan Oil drop."

This is a teacher or student controlled 3d experiment that measures the speed of waves in water. It uses an electromechanical plunger connected to a signal generator to create waves of a known frequency in the water. A strobe light is then used to effectively make the waves appear stationary where their wavelength can be easily measured. The user can control the frequency of the signal generator and the frequency of the strobe light. The user can position themself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings of the voltage and current. You can try one of the practicals from our website. Instructions are included.

This is a student or teacher controlled 3d investigation into Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) using a mass-spring system. The investigation will allow us to determine the spring constant. Different weights can be placed on the spring and then given an impulse. A timer is used to determine the period of oscillation. The user has control over the weight on the spring, the position of the fiducial marker and the timer controls. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the practicals from our website. Instructions are included.

Give your students unfettered access to a multitude of Physics practicals with no laboratory required. No breakages, no setup time, always ready to go. This is a teacher or student controlled 3d experiment that allows you to investigate the combined resistance of resistors in series and parallel. Resistors impede the flow of current in a circuit. We use them in electrical and electronic circuits to control the flow of current. The higher the resistance the less current that flows. However, there are two different ways we can connect resistors together, either in series or in parallel. This experiment will allow you to investigate the combined resistance of resistors connected both ways. The user can control picking any resistor and placing it on any free slot on the breadboard. The user can position themself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings of the voltage and current. You can try one of the practicals from our website.

This is a teacher or student controlled 3d experiment that allows you to plot the IV characteristics of a diode. That is, you can plot how the current changes when you change the voltage (The ‘I’ is for current and the V is for voltage). Diodes have the property that they essentially only let current flow in one direction. The user can move the control the power supply, alter the connection of the LED, and the change the variable resistor. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the practical from our website. Instructions are included.

Give your students unfettered access to a multitude of Physics practicals with no laboratory required. No breakages, no setup time, always ready to go. This is a student or teacher controlled, realistic 3d experiment that uses an AirTrack to confirm Newton’s second law that force = mass times the acceleration. A pully arrangement is used to allow an adjustable weight to pull the glider along the AirTrack so that it accelerates. By measuring the time the glider takes to pass through two successive photogate timers its acceleration can be calculated. Changing the weight pulling the glider allows for a range of forces and accelerations to be observed. These values can be plotted to confirm the law. The user has control over the air pump, the positions of the photogates and their settings, the weight pulling the glider. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the practicals from our website.

This is a student or teacher controlled experiment that allows the equivalence of heat and mechanical energy to be determined. We generate the heat by the friction between a cord and a brass cylinder which is rotated under the user’s control. The user controls the rotation whilst monitoring the temperature of the brass cylinder. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus.

This is a student or teacher controlled 3d experiment to plot the relationship between time and the voltage for a capacitor that is charging or discharging. A capacitor is an electronic component that can store a certain amount of charge. It has a value called its capacitance measured in Farads (which is a really huge unit, we normally deal with micro Farads or even pico Farads). The circuit can be configured to either charge or discharge the capacitor, in both cases the voltage and current can be monitored. The user has control over the power supply and the charge/discharge switch. The user can position themself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings from the instrumentation.

Give your students unfettered access to a multitude of Physics practicals with no laboratory required. No breakages, no setup time, always ready to go. This is a student or teacher controlled 3d experiment that allows you to verify Hooke’s Law which states that the amount a substance stretches when a force is applied to it is proportional to the force. When we apply some force an elastic or a steel wire it will stretch and intuitively we are aware that the bigger the force the more it will stretch. We are also aware that some materials stretch more than others. What exactly is the relationship between the force and the amount something stretches for a particular material? That’s the question that we are going to answer with this experiment. The user can control the weight applying a force to the wire. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the practicals from our website.
