Electric Forces [Timed Unguided]
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.
PhysicsGrades 9-12

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.

Wavelength and Frequency [Timed]

A simulation where learners adjust wavelength and frequency of waves to see their effects on wave behavior, visualizing the inverse relationship and how they determine wave speed in different mediums.

Wind Speed and Air Pressure [Timed]

A simulation where learners explore how differences in air pressure create wind, adjusting temperature and pressure conditions to observe changes in wind speed and direction, reinforcing concepts of atmospheric dynamics.

PhysicsGrades 6-12VRDesktopWeb

Archimedes Principle [Timed]

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.

Newton's First Law of Motion [Timed Unguided]

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.
