Algodoo is a 2D-simulation environment for creating interactive scenes in a playful, cartoony manner, making use of the physics that we use to explain our real world. Algodoo is designed to encourage young people's own creativity, ability and motivation to construct knowledge. The synergy of science and art makes Algodoo as educational as it is entertaining. Algodoo applies a constructionistic learning paradigm - learning by designing, constructing and exploring physical systems. Design, interact and explore - It's Physics like never before!

"This site was honored because of its comprehensive coverage of most of physics, the creative use of multimedia and linking, and the impact it has had on students worldwide. Online tutorials cover a wide range of physics topics, including modern physics and astronomy. Material is organized through extensive concept maps."

Fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena from the Physics Education Technology project at the University of Colorado. Teacher ideas and activities are also available.

Wow! And free!

Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool built on the Open Source Physics (OSP) Java framework. It is designed to be used in introductory college physics labs and lectures. Features include: 1. Object tracking with position, velocity and acceleration overlays and data. 2. Video modeling with dynamic particle overlays and data. 3. Center of mass tracking with overlays and data. 4. Rotational motion data includes theta, omega and alpha. 5. Interactive graphical vectors and vector sums. 6. Line profiles for RGB analysis of spectra and interference at any angle 7. RGB regions for time analysis of RGB data 8. Flexible video calibration options. 9. Multiple reference frame views of collisions and other motions. 10. Video filters, including brightness/contrast, ghost trails, and deinterlacing. 11. User-defined constants and variables for plotting and analysis. 12. Data analysis tool with powerful automatic and manual curve fitting. 13. Full undo/redo with multiple steps. 14. Video converter for converting edited/filtered videos to mov, gif, jpg or png formats 15. Video exporter tool for recording videos with track overlays. 16. Copy and print images of any view for use in labs and other documents. 17. Paste web or other images directly into Tracker for analysis, save if desired. 18. Helpful hints for new and occasional users. 19. Drag-n-drop trk and video files to open.

bsorb is a series of interactive online courses for secondary schools, covering physics, chemistry, electronics, mathematics and advanced physics. Our unique simulations, interactive animations, and videos, are linked by an involving narrative, providing the basis for an interactive learning experience. Each title offers a huge amount of interactivity - ranging from simple animations that show hidden concepts, to powerful models that allow flexible experimentation. Each title is well-suited to self-study or review, or provides a framework to teach in front of the whole class on a whiteboard.

Probably worth 5 mins of you time. Wow!

Wow! Would you like to feel grounded? give 5min to this this video and you won't be sorry.

great physics videos (demos)
