Simulations

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 6-12VRDesktopWeb
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 6-12VRDesktopWeb
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.

Free
Acceleration
Explore how velocity changes over time to understand the concept of acceleration. Learn through interactive examples showing uniform and non-uniform motion, with real-life applications in vehicles and moving objects.
Grades 6-12VRDesktopWeb
Free
Balanced Forces
Explore how forces interact on objects. Understand equilibrium, net force, and how balanced forces result in no change in motion.
Grades 6-12VRDesktopWeb
Free
Circular Motion
Study motion along a curved path. Observe how velocity changes direction, understand centripetal acceleration, and explore uniform circular motion.
Grades 9-12VRDesktopWeb
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.
PhysicsGrades 6-12VRDesktopWeb
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 6-12VRDesktopWeb
