Flash Animations for Physics

Looking to conduct physics or physical science labs and activities in your class but either don’t have the funds or the space or the time for setting up equipment?  Try the Flash Animations for Physics where you can access nearly 100 animations and interactive activities that allow students to manipulate variables and conduct those experiments virtually.

All the animations are sorted by category and require a minimum version of Flash Player to function and that is listed with each file.  Descriptions of the animations and interactives are also provided so you can easily find just the one you want to use.  The categories available are:

• Chaos
• Classical Mechanics
• Electricity and Magnetism
• Fluid Mechanics
• Micrometer Caliper
• Miscellaneous
• Nuclear
• Optics
• Oscilloscope
• Quantum Mechanics
• Relativity
• Sound Waves
• Vectors
• Waves

Flash Animations for Physics is not the most visually stunning site, but is a fantastic resource to have on hand for use in class and for quick, easy to do illustrations and activities.
