This is a student controlled 3d simulation of an experiment to confirm the inverse square law for radiation. All forms of radiation follow the inverse square law. That is the intensity of radiation declines as to the square of the distance from the source. In this experiment we measure the background radiation and the count rates of gamma particles hitting a detector at a range of distances. Plotting the results will verify the inverse square law. The user can move a lead block in front of the gamma source to measure the background radiation count, and then move the detector to a range of distances from the detector and take readings of the count for a fixed period of time. The user can position him/herself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings from the instrumentation. Try a simulation from our website. Instructions on performing the experiment and controlling the simulation are 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: • Directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. • As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. • For home-learning where there is no access to a laboratory. • To make up for an experiment missed due to sickness. • As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class. Download contains full instructions on using the simulation, a PowerPoint giving full instructions including a video, background on the Physics and instructions on running the simulation.

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."

This uses a games approach to familiarise the students with Crime Scene Investigation as taught in BTEC Science Level 2 Extended Certificate Unit 13. In the Crime Scene Training Room is a body lying in a pool of blood. The students must gather the evidence without contaminating the crime scene and take it to the Crime Laboratory. At each stage they are given instructions aurally and written (on in-game plasma TVs) on what they need to know. They start outside the Store Room where they are required to stock up with the tools of the trade. Once stocked up, it’s off to the Locker Room where they are required to don a protection suit. Then to the Scene of Crime Training Room. Access to the Scene of Crime Training Room will be denied unless the student is wearing the full protective uniform with gloves and boots. Now they are ready for the Crime Scene Training Room which contains the mock-up of a crime. This is where the students will use the items that they have picked up from the Store Room. For example, they need to obtain a swab of the blood, but it has to be done correctly. They need to place a marker by the blood, take a photograph, use the swab and then label it. The application will give advice when any attempt to collect the evidence incorrectly is made. Then it’s on to the Crime Lab where they can use the various instruments and computers for processing the gathered evidence. There’s a microscope for examining fibres, The DNA is analysed by the equipment shown here and outputs a DNA ‘fingerprint’. There is also a gas chromatograph and a finger print station. This is a 3d immersive game-like experience that will fully engage the students. The students must gather the evidence without contaminating the crime scene and take it to the Crime Laboratory. At each stage they are given instructions aurally and written (on in-game plasma TVs) on what they need to know. This game-like approach will gain the students attention as they compete to gather and process the evidence while learning much of the vocabulary and methods of the world of forensics. These methods are enforced, if the student cannot label a sample so that it can be processed because he/she has ran out of labels, then he has to go back to the store room to get a label before he/she can continue. This is a fantastic way to get the students motivated to learn. They’ll think they are just playing a game. The application is not reliant on state of the art graphics and will run with standard pc graphics cards. Licence This product is for a single user and is for personal and classroom use only.

This is a student or teacher controlled realistic 3d simulation of an experiment to measure the resistivity of constantan. Every material that obeys Ohms law (not all materials do) has a characteristic resistivity. The resistivity is a constant for a particular substance that allows you to calculate what the resistance is in Ohms for a wire of a particular length with a particular cross-sectional area. This experiment allows you to plot the resistance against the length of wire that the current is flowing through. Given that you can find the cross-sectional area by measuring the diameter with a micrometer you can then calculate the resistivity. The user has control over the position of the crocodile clip on the constantan wire, the voltage from the power supply unit, and the micrometer screw gauge barrel. The user can position him/herself anywhere within the laboratory. You can try one of the simulations from our website. Instructions are viewable within the simulation.

This is a teacher or student controlled, realistic 3d simulation of an experiment that allows you to plot the IV characteristics of a lightbulb. That is, you can plot how the current changes when you change the voltage (The ‘I’ is for current, and the V is for voltage). This depends on the resistance of the bulb which changes depending on the voltage. Effectively the bulb gets hotter and hotter as the voltage increases until it is eventually white hot. As the temperature of the metal filament gets hotter its resistance changes. The user can control the power supply and the variable resistor.

This is a student or teacher controlled realistic 3d simulation of an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a dry cell. This experiment allows you to measure the internal resistance of a single dry cell. The idea of a battery having a resistance can seem counter intuitive. Surely the battery is the opposite of a resistor it is creating a current, not preventing one? However, this is not correct. The chemical processes in a battery creates the movement of electrons, but these still have to overcome whatever the resistance, no matter how small, of the battery itself. If it helps think of the battery as something that incorporates a resistor, then you can treat this resistor exactly as you would any other resistor in the circuit. The user needs to complete the circuit by clicking on pairs of connectors to connect them. The user has control of the position of the rheostat slider and the power to the circuit. The user can position him.herself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings from the volt and amp meters.

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."

This is a teacher or student controlled, realistic 3d simulation of an experiment that measures the speed of waves in water. It uses an electromechanical plunger connected to a signal generator to create waves of a known frequency in the water. A strobe light is then used to effectively make the waves appear stationary where their wavelength can be easily measured. The user can control the frequency of the signal generator and the frequency of the strobe light. The user can position themself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings of the voltage and current. 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: • Directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. • As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. • For home-learning where there is no access to a laboratory. • To make up for an experiment missed due to sickness. • 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. 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.

This is a teacher or student controlled, realistic 3d simulation of an experiment that allows you to investigate the combined resistance of resistors in series and parallel. Resistors impede the flow of current in a circuit. We use them in electrical and electronic circuits to control the flow of current. The higher the resistance the less current that flows. However, there are two different ways we can connect resistors together, either in series or in parallel. This experiment will allow you to investigate the combined resistance of resistors connected both ways. The user can control picking any resistor and placing it on any free slot on the breadboard. The user can position themself anywhere within the laboratory in order to take readings of the voltage and current. You can try one of the simulations from our website.

This is a student or teacher controlled, realistic 3d simulation of an experiment that allows the magnetic field strength of a current carrying coil to be measured. The coil can have different numbers of turns, different amounts of current can be applied, and the field can be measured at the centre and along the radial axis. The user controls the voltage and maximum current, the number of coils of wire and the position of the magnetometer. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to read and interact with the apparatus. You can try one of the simulations from our website.
