Use the simulation of a Newton metre in your science or Physics class to illustrate elastic potential energy and Hooke’s law. It’s a 3D interactive of the AQA GCSE Physics required practical on force and extension (Hooke’s law). Pupils work through the real procedure on a virtual lab bench: clamp a spring to a retort […]

Simulation of piston sliding back and forth inside an engine cylinder This simulation shows a piston sliding back and forth inside an engine cylinder, demonstrating how lubrication reduces friction. A blue arrow on the left shows the driving force pushing the piston; red arrows on the piston show friction resisting its motion each stroke. Three

Simulation of Friction, lubrication using a crate This interactive GCSE Physics simulation shows how lubrication reduces friction between surfaces. As you increase lubrication, the friction force drops, so less energy is transferred to the thermal store (less heating/heat trail) and more of the work done by the push goes into the object’s kinetic energy (it

Use the simulation in your science or Physics class to illustrate conversion of wind power to electricity Overview This interactive simulation models how a wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of moving air into electrical energy. Students can manipulate wind speed, blade length, and generator efficiency in real time, observing how each variable affects the
