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.

Experiment Overview
This highly realistic virtual experiment allows students to verify Charles’s Law that states that at constant pressure the volume of a fixed amount of a gas is proportional to the temperature. The user controls the flow of water into the beaker that cools the water whilst monitoring the position of the oil drop and the temperature.
Perfect for:
✔ Pre-lab preparation – Familiarize with equipment & methodology;
✔ Post-lab revision – Reinforce concepts with interactive review;
✔ Home learning & missed experiments – No access to a lab? No problem!
✔ Teacher-led demonstrations – When physical setups are impractical.
Safety
✔ No risk of breakages, burns, or spills, making it safer than traditional labs.
✔ Ideal for younger students or those with safety concerns in hands-on experiments.

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.
