Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to demonstrate the correct procedure for wiring a basic electrical circuit following industry standards.
Students will be able to diagnose common electrical faults, such as open or short circuits, using virtual testing equipment like a multimeter.
Students will be able to interpret multimeter readings to accurately determine voltage, current, and resistance at various points within an electrical system.

Electric Forces
A simulation where learners investigate electric forces by placing charged objects in a field, observing attraction or repulsion, and exploring how force varies with charge magnitude and distance according to Coulomb’s Law.

Powered by SimGenie AI

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.

Forms of Energy

A simulation where learners explore different forms of energy—such as kinetic, potential, thermal, chemical, and electrical—by interacting with real-world scenarios and observing how energy transforms and transfers between forms.

PhysicsGrades 6-12

Newton's First Law of Motion

A simulation where learners observe objects in motion and at rest, exploring how forces—or the absence of them—affect motion, to understand Newton’s First Law: an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net force.

PhysicsGrades 6-12

Newton's Second Law of Motion

A simulation where learners apply varying forces to objects of different masses and observe resulting accelerations, illustrating Newton’s Second Law: F = ma, the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

PhysicsGrades 6-12

Using Newton's Third Law of Motion

A simulation where learners explore action-reaction force pairs by observing interactions like rockets launching or objects colliding, illustrating Newton’s Third Law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

PhysicsGrades 6-12

Changes Between Kinetic and Potential Energy

A simulation where learners observe objects in motion—like a swinging pendulum or a roller coaster—to see how energy shifts between kinetic and potential forms, reinforcing conservation of energy through interactive, real-time visual feedback.

PhysicsGrades 6-12

Archimedes Principle

A simulation where learners submerge various objects in fluids to explore buoyant force, observing how weight, volume, and fluid density affect whether objects sink or float—demonstrating Archimedes' Principle in action.

PhysicsGrades 6-12

Simple Machines

A simulation where learners interact with simple machines—like levers, pulleys, and inclined planes—to see how they reduce effort, trade force for distance, and demonstrate mechanical advantage in real-world tasks.
