Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Comprehend the movement of a mass oscillating on a vertical spring.
  • Ascertain the stable position of a vertical oscillating system.
  • Grasp the fundamental characteristics of Simple Harmonic Motion.
  • Comprehend Hooke’s law in the context of a spring-mass setup.
  • Calculate the earthquakes size and its central point from a seismogram.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

  • Access over 300 web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
  • Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
  • Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
  • Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
