Interactive Simulations
__________This web page presents two alternatives to the real physics experiments: Simulations of Experiments and Filmed Experiments.
__________The Experiment Simulations seek to maintain similarity with the corresponding real experiments.
__________ The Filmed Experiments consist of real experiences that were recorded on film to allow the observer to study the physical phenomenon in question.
__________The simple user interaction with the simulation or visualization of the filmed experiment may not generate all the knowledge intended for understanding the physical phenomena addressed.
__________For a systematic study of the physical phenomenon in each situation, we advise the user to carry out the "experiment" following, step-by-step, the guide available in MATERIALS. The activity guide (similar to an activity guide used in real experiments) guides the user in data collection and analysis. The activity guide is only an example of utilization and does not intend to exhaust all the possibilities of each simulation.
__________The suggested activity guides are access free, requiring registration only for editable files. The materials of this web page may be used freely for non-profit educational purposes.
