Physics learning resources

Learn physics through interactive simulations of motion, forces, energy, electricity and light. Adjust parameters to observe and compare phenomena.

← All subjects and topics

From moving objects to light and electricity, simulations connect formulas with observable phenomena. The collection below brings together the library's currently public physics resources.

Ideas for learning: Predict the result before running a simulation. Change one quantity at a time, record what happens and explain it using what you have learned.
