Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to demonstrate the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency by adjusting wave parameters in the simulation.
Students will be able to analyze how changes in wavelength and frequency affect a wave's propagation speed and behavior in different simulated mediums.
Students will be able to identify the qualitative changes in wave behavior (e.g., speed, wave appearance) that result from specific adjustments to wavelength or frequency.

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.

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.

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 6-12

Simple Machines [Timed]

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 6-12

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.
