Thermal Insulation

✔ Runs in most browsers (Windows & Mac) – No installation;
✔ Authentic, data-driven – Built from real experimental data & theory;
✔ Instant, hands-on learning – No setup, no breakages, always ready;
✔ Ideal for classroom demonstrations – Works with Smartboards & Bluetooth controllers;
✔ Perfect for student learning – At home, in revision, or for missed lessons;
✔ As in a real lab, results depend on the care taken.

This highly realistic virtual laboratory experiment allows students to investigate the transfer of heat energy through different insulating materials.

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.

✔ No risk of breakages, burns, or spills;
✔ Ideal for younger students or those with safety concerns in hands-on experiments.

✔ Can be used with adaptive technology such as switch controls;
✔ Helps students with mobility impairments participate in experiments;
✔ Reduces sensory overload compared to a noisy, busy lab environment.

✔ PowerPoint with step-by-step instructions, video & background physics;
✔ Realistic virtual experiment created from real experimental data;
✔ Standalone Windows application or WebGL browser (Edge, Firefox, Safari).

✔ Endorsed by the Association for Science Education (ASE) with their Green Tick of Approval.
✔ Created by the author of High School and Undergraduate Physics Practicals (CRC Press), available on Amazon.

I’ve found your software really useful when I need to demonstrate something quickly without time to set up a formal experiment. The graphics are great, and I love being able to move around and observe from different angles.
— 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.
