RobATvirtual-science's Shop

The home of the Virtual Physics Laboratory which offers ideal resources for when laboratory time or expertise is limited. All these resources can be used by the teacher or by students with or without supervision. I started researching and creating these resources many years ago. I usually create the experiment in reality before creating the final version. I have taught at Universities, FE/HE colleges, and at secondary schools and have ran Virtual Science for over 30 years.

Mechanical Equivalent of Heat - Interactive 3D practical

Mechanical Equivalent of Heat - Interactive 3D practical

(0)
This is a student or teacher controlled experiment that allows the equivalence of heat and mechanical energy to be determined. We generate the heat by the friction between a cord and a brass cylinder which is rotated under the user’s control. The user controls the rotation whilst monitoring the temperature of the brass cylinder. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the simulations from our website. Instructions are viewable within the simulation. The simulation is perfect for demonstrating this experiment in front of the class but can also be used by students in a variety of ways: β€’ Directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. β€’ As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. β€’ For home-learning where there is no access to a laboratory. β€’ To make up for an experiment missed due to sickness. β€’ As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class. Downloads include: a PowerPoint giving full instructyons including a video, background on the Physics and the simulation application in a zip file. If you can’t use the Windows executable for any reason, there is also an online link for browsers that supports WebGL such as Microsoft Edge or FireFox on Windows and Safari on the Mac. The Virtual Physics Laboratory of which this simulation is a part, has the Association for Science Education’s Green Tick of Approval. More information can be found on our website. I’ve found your software very useful when a concept comes up with pupils and I have to demonstrate something really quickly without having the time to set up a formal experiment for them. The graphics are great and I really like the ability to move around the classroom and observe the experiment from different aspects. I am far more likely to go to one of your interactive experiments if it’s demonstrating something that we don’t have equipment for.β€œ Andrew McPhee Wellington School I thought that the controls were pretty easy to get used to and the detail in the apparatus was excellent being able to zoom in and see the set up of the multi-meter and read scales, being careful of parallax. This type of software is most useful in experiments which can’t be done in the lab like the gravity on the moon or where the equipment is too expensive or difficult to use like the Millikan Oil drop. ​Physics Scholar Coordinator. ​Licence This product is for a single user and is for personal and classroom use only.

What Teachers Say: I’ve found your software very useful when a concept comes up with pupils and I have to demonstrate something really quickly without having the time to set up a formal experiment for them. The graphics are great and I really like the ability to move around the classroom and observe the experiment from different aspects. I am far more likely to go to one of your interactive experiments if it’s demonstrating something that we don’t have equipment for. Andrew McPhee Wellington School Detail in the apparatus was excellent… This type of software is most useful in experiments which can’t be done in the lab like the gravity on the moon or where the equipment is too expensive or difficult to use like the Millikan Oil drop.

Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment - 3D practical for Physics

Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment - 3D practical for Physics

(0)
This is a student or teacher controlled 3d experiment that allows you to find the charge on an electron by examining the motion of charged polymer balls in an electric field. The user controls the electric field: polarity and strength, the introduction of the polymer balls to the examination chamber, and can measure the separation of the electrostatic plates using a micrometer screw gauge. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the simulations from our website. Instructions are viewable within the simulation. The package is perfect for demonstrating this experiment in front of the class but can also be used by students in a variety of ways: β€’ Directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. β€’ As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. β€’ For home-learning where there is no access to a laboratory. β€’ To make up for an experiment missed due to sickness. β€’ As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class. Downloads comprise a Powerpoint giving full instructions including a video, background on the Physics and a zip file containing the simulation application for Windows. If you do not want to use the executable, there is also an online link for browsers that supports WebGL such as Microsoft Edge or FireFox on Windows and Safari on the Mac. The Virtual Physics Laboratory of which this simulation is a part, has the Association for Science Education’s Green Tick of Approval. More information can be found on our website. I’ve found your software very useful when a concept comes up with pupils and I have to demonstrate something really quickly without having the time to set up a formal experiment for them. The graphics are great and I really like the ability to move around the classroom and observe the experiment from different aspects. I am far more likely to go to one of your interactive experiments if it’s demonstrating something that we don’t have equipment for. Andrew McPhee Wellington School I thought that the controls were pretty easy to get used to and the detail in the apparatus was excellent being able to zoom in and see the set up of the multi-meter and read scales, being careful of parallax. This type of software is most useful in experiments which can’t be done in the lab like the gravity on the moon or where the equipment is too expensive or difficult to use like the Millikan Oil drop.

TOM The Computer Simulator

(0)
The original Thoroughly Obedient Moron is a safe and user friendly environment for learning the fundamental concepts of how a computer works. From logic gates to algorithms. TOM’s original screen allows interactive programming that includes branching, looping, subroutine calls with stack operations, input and output operations, interrupt processing and memory mapped output. Complex concepts, such as recursion, are easily understood when you can see all the memory right in front of you and follow the flow of control. The unwinding of the call stack is so visual that understanding is an immediate eureka moment; making this the ideal groundwork before moving onto high-level language programming. Any TOM program can be seen executing on the main screen or by TOM’s underlying machine. A collection of interactive screens show how the elements of TOM are built from logic gates. Programming TOM enables students to have a deeper understanding of how computers work which helps them in all their future work with computers. TOM’s comprehensive documentation and help give background information on: β€’ Number systems. β€’ ASCII collating sequence β€’ Binary encoded decimal. β€’ Logic gates. β€’ Stacks and subroutines. β€’ Numeric overflow. And has numerous exercises you can use in class. *"This is real education, deep stuff. It’s informative, accurate, interesting and recommended. I don’t want to give it back.” * Parents & Computing We have found it an excellent tool for the delivery of the machine architecture aspects of A level Computing. It facilitates well demonstrations by the teacher but most importantly enables hands-on work by the studentsβ€œ Paul Morgan, Sir John Deaneβ€˜s College.
