Physics Interactive Lectures and Studies

Ted Princiotto

For many introductory physics students, the task of mastering new concepts seems daunting. Physics Interactive Lectures and Studies is an easy-to-use package that minimizes confusion with its accessible interface and single-topic approach. The software includes twelve individual programs that address basic physics principles. Each consists of a screen display that spotlights a fundamental concept and includes any governing equations and a diagram of the physical system being taught.

At first, the screen resembles a static textbook page. But with a click of the mouse, it is transformed into an animated, interactive platform for learning and study. It is easy for students to see the direct effects of changes in system parameters. For example, an instructor teaching Archimedes' Principle can demonstrate the effect of different fluid and solid densities on the buoyant force acting on a solid block of different dimensions.

Physics Interactive Lectures and Studies required basic knowledge of algebra and trigonometry in order to manipulate equations and vector quantities, and it uses the SI system of units throughout. Topics include projectile motion, friction, momentum and energy, rigid body rotation, simple harmonic motion, hydrostatic pressure, Archimedes' principle, Bernoulli's equation, specific heat, wave motion, Coulomb's law, and Ohm's law.

The programs are ideal for use as a teaching aid in a lecture or laboratory setting, and they are suitable for use as a study aid as well. Students will benefit from the scope and simplicity of this package, which offers an excellent opportunity to review and master key concepts. And instructors will appreciate the accessibility it affords by presenting single-topic definitions, equations, explanation, and simulations—all in one place and ready to go! 9 pp.
