Free Interactive Science Simulations
Based on JavaScript, JavaLab simulates various natural phenomena that relate to physics, chemistry, Earth science, astronomy, biology, measurement, and mathematics. For example, the Spectrum Analysis Simulation analyzes the sound around students and displays it as a spectrum. Students listen to an orchestra and categorize the instruments used in real-time. In the Continental Drift Simulation, students move the continents to create a connected supercontinent. And in the Making Molecular Models (whiteboard) Simulation, students create molecular structures by dragging and dropping atoms. Atoms that are no longer needed can be returned to the periodic table.
No plugin add-ons are necessary to run the simulations. They can be used on mobile devices and tablets also.
