This simulation teaches power as the rate of energy transfer / work done. This approach matches the AQA GCSE Physics specification’s recommended emphasis that students understand power as how quickly energy is transferred (or how quickly work is done) and can apply (P = E/t) and (P = W/t) (and, for circuits, (P = IV).

Earth’s gravitational field Simulation This is a full-screen interactive HTML5 simulation of Earth’s gravitational field, designed for GCSE Physics. It visualises the concept that the force of gravity near Earth is caused by the gravitational field surrounding it. What students see on screen: The canvas shows a deep-space background with Earth sitting at the base,

Simulation of thermal conductivity This simulation helps GCSE Physics students visualise thermal conduction — the transfer of energy through a material from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. Students select from four materials (Wood, Glass, Steel, and Copper) and observe in real time how heat spreads across the rod from

Simulation of Energy dissipation in system change using a ball Energy Dissipation Simulation – “Where Does the Useful Energy Go?” This interactive physics demonstration shows what really happens to energy in a real-world system — using the everyday example of a bouncing ball. A brightly colored ball is dropped from a significant height onto a

Simulation of Energy dissipation in system change This simulation helps GCSE Physics students understand the concept of energy dissipation — that in every system change, energy is always conserved but spread into less useful forms. Using four real-world examples (light bulb, car engine, phone charger, and speaker), students can see how input energy is split
