This is a student or teacher controlled experiment that shows that the structure of an atom is consistent with having a small, postitively charged nucleus. The user controls the rotation of the particle detector whilst monitoring the number of particles it is detecting. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the simulations from our website. Instructions are viewable within the simulation. 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. Downloads include: a PowerPoint giving full instructions including a video, background on the Physics and the simulation application in a zip file. The Virtual Physics Laboratory of which this simulation is a part, has the Association for Science Education’s Green Tick of Approval. More information can be found on our website. 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. ​Physics Scholar Coordinator. ​Licence This product is for a single user and is for personal and classroom use only.

This is a student controlled 3d experiment to confirm the inverse square law for radiation. All forms of radiation follow the inverse square law. That is the intensity of radiation declines as to the square of the distance from the source. In this experiment we measure the background radiation and the count rates of gamma particles hitting a detector at a range of distances. Plotting the results will verify the inverse square law. The user can move a lead block in front of the gamma source to measure the background radiation count, and then move the detector to a range of distances from the detector and take readings of the count for a fixed period of time. The user can position him/herself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings from the instrumentation. Try a practical from our Instructions on performing the experiment are included.

CSI School - Interactive 3D Simulation

This uses a games approach to familiarise the students with Crime Scene Investigation as taught in BTEC Science Level 2 Extended Certificate Unit 13. In the Crime Scene Training Room is a body lying in a pool of blood. The students must gather the evidence without contaminating the crime scene and take it to the Crime Laboratory. At each stage they are given instructions aurally and written (on in-game plasma TVs) on what they need to know. They start outside the Store Room where they are required to stock up with the tools of the trade. Once stocked up, it’s off to the Locker Room where they are required to don a protection suit. Then to the Scene of Crime Training Room. Access to the Scene of Crime Training Room will be denied unless the student is wearing the full protective uniform with gloves and boots. Now they are ready for the Crime Scene Training Room which contains the mock-up of a crime. This is where the students will use the items that they have picked up from the Store Room. For example, they need to obtain a swab of the blood, but it has to be done correctly. They need to place a marker by the blood, take a photograph, use the swab and then label it. The application will give advice when any attempt to collect the evidence incorrectly is made. Then it’s on to the Crime Lab where they can use the various instruments and computers for processing the gathered evidence. There’s a microscope for examining fibres, The DNA is analysed by the equipment shown here and outputs a DNA ‘fingerprint’. There is also a gas chromatograph and a finger print station. This is a 3d immersive game-like experience that will fully engage the students. The students must gather the evidence without contaminating the crime scene and take it to the Crime Laboratory. At each stage they are given instructions aurally and written (on in-game plasma TVs) on what they need to know. This game-like approach will gain the students attention as they compete to gather and process the evidence while learning much of the vocabulary and methods of the world of forensics. These methods are enforced, if the student cannot label a sample so that it can be processed because he/she has ran out of labels, then he has to go back to the store room to get a label before he/she can continue. This is a fantastic way to get the students motivated to learn. They’ll think they are just playing a game. The application is not reliant on state of the art graphics and will run with standard pc graphics cards. Licence This product is for a single user and is for personal and classroom use only.

The original Thoroughly Obedient Moron is a safe and user friendly environment for learning the fundamental concepts of how a computer works. From logic gates to algorithms. TOM’s original screen allows interactive programming that includes branching, looping, subroutine calls with stack operations, input and output operations, interrupt processing and memory mapped output. Complex concepts, such as recursion, are easily understood when you can see all the memory right in front of you and follow the flow of control. The unwinding of the call stack is so visual that understanding is an immediate eureka moment; making this the ideal groundwork before moving onto high-level language programming. Any TOM program can be seen executing on the main screen or by TOM’s underlying machine. A collection of interactive screens show how the elements of TOM are built from logic gates. Programming TOM enables students to have a deeper understanding of how computers work which helps them in all their future work with computers. TOM’s comprehensive documentation and help give background information on: • Number systems. • ASCII collating sequence • Binary encoded decimal. • Logic gates. • Stacks and subroutines. • Numeric overflow. And has numerous exercises you can use in class. *"This is real education, deep stuff. It’s informative, accurate, interesting and recommended. I don’t want to give it back.” * Parents & Computing We have found it an excellent tool for the delivery of the machine architecture aspects of A level Computing. It facilitates well demonstrations by the teacher but most importantly enables hands-on work by the students“ Paul Morgan, Sir John Deane‘s College.

This is a teacher or student controlled 3d experiment that allows you to plot the IV characteristics of a lightbulb. 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). This depends on the resistance of the bulb which changes depending on the voltage. Effectively the bulb gets hotter and hotter as the voltage increases until it is eventually white hot. As the temperature of the metal filament gets hotter its resistance changes. The user can control the power supply and the variable resistor. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try a practical from our website.

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 practical of a monochromatic laser and a diffraction grating to produce a diffraction pattern which enables the wavelength of the laser light to be determined. Then the number of lines of a different grating can be deduced with some careful measurements. The user has control over the screen angle, which grating to use, the position of the grating and switching the laser on and off. The user can position him/herself anywhere within the laboratory. You can try one of the practicals from our website. Instructions are included. The package 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. Download contains full instructions on using the package, a PowerPoint giving full instructions including a video , background on the Physics and instructions on running the experiment, as well as a link to an on-line version (no need to install unless you want to). The Virtual Physics Laboratory of which this is a part, has the Association for Science Education’s Green Tick of Approval. More information can be found on our website.

Resistivity of Constantan 3D practical for A level Physics

(0)
This is a student or teacher controlled 3d simulation of an experiment to measure the resistivity of constantan. Every material that obeys Ohms law (not all materials do) has a characteristic resistivity. The resistivity is a constant for a particular substance that allows you to calculate what the resistance is in Ohms for a wire of a particular length with a particular cross-sectional area. This experiment allows you to plot the resistance against the length of wire that the current is flowing through. Given that you can find the cross-sectional area by measuring the diameter with a micrometer you can then calculate the resistivity. The user has control over the position of the crocodile clip on the constantan wire, the voltage from the power supply unit, and the micrometer screw gauge barrel. The user can position him/herself anywhere within the laboratory. You can try one of the simulations from our website. Instructions are viewable within the simulation. 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.
