| Play and experiment with the growing collection of materialworlds simulations - and get a feel for the forces at the heart of the physical world. | ||
| Live interactive physics simulations - downloadable for use offline - let you explore the Solar System (orbits, seasons, gravity, tides and satellites), play snooker (on a full size table) and experiment with "Laws of Motion" simulations (free worksheets provided for pendulum, Newton's cradle, terminal velocity and Galileo's balls - as dropped from the Leaning Tower of Pisa). | With real-time visualisation of forces and velocities (as arrows on each object as they interact or are pulled around with the mouse) and scrolling graphs recording what happens, materialworlds gives a real feel for how the physical world works. | |
| Solar
system tilt and zoom your view of the planets as they orbit the Sun... change the Earth's tilt and wreck the seasons... nudge a satellite into a new orbit ... track the changes in tidal forces with the phases of the Moon ... switch off gravity and see what happens. |
