| Description: | Java Simulation download. Broadcast radio waves from KPhET. Wiggle the transmitter electron manually or have it oscillate automatically. Display the field as a curve or vectors. The strip chart shows the electron positions at the transmitter and at the receiver. Fun, interactive simulations of physical phenomena from the Physics Education Technology project at the University of Colorado. Simulations available in both English and Spanish. Simulations with this rating have been used and tested in the classroom. They have been refined based on that experience and on student interviews. The simulations have been tested on multiple platforms. |

Interactive Simulation "The primary target for these simulations was originally college undergraduates with a wide range of science backgrounds and interests, and this is the population that has been studied in our research. However, these simulations appear to be useful for a surprisingly large range of students and are now extensively used in many high schools as well as some middle schools. In addition, we have received numerous anecdotal reports of grade school students finding them highly engaging and have observed physics graduate students learning new physics by playing with them. An interesting area of future research would be the study of how the findings we report here might depend on the age and background of the student beyond the levels explored in this work." |
