JANUARY
2015: TO SIMPLIFY THIS LIBRARY (AS I AM NOW RETIRED) AND TO PREVENT THE
WASTEFUL DOWNLOADING OF IDENTICAL FILES, THE AVAILABLE DOWNLOADS HAVE BEEN
LIMITED TO THE COMPLETE SETS LISTED BELOW. MOST SOFTWARE WILL RUN IN THREE
SCREEN RESOLUTIONS: 1024x768,
1280X960 AND
1600X1200 WITH 800x600 SUPPORTED
IN THE ANIMATION SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE WILL OPEN THE LARGEST WINDOW THAT WILL
FIT YOUR CURRENT SCREEN.
LABORATORY SIMULATIONS
click for details
The set includes 14 experiments. The software is
designed to simulate the actual experimental setup and data collection. Data
analysis and report writing is left to the instructor to define. See the link
above for more details.
THE ANIMATED CHALKBOARD click for details
These
short animations are designed to be used in a classroom setting, but can also
be used individually by students to enhance the understanding of basic
principles. See the link above for more details.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SIMULATORS click for details
These
programs offer game style simulations that model the supply and demand systems
for energy distribution and use in the United States and the World. The
International Energy program also offers a number of other countries and/or
regions for modeling. Use the link above to view details. There is now a single
download that contains all available simulators. A
recent update has fixed an error in the MODEL 3 simulation and has added new instruction
files with screen shots for the 4 newest simulators.
NEW: WORLD ENERGY COMPLETE COURSE
This
is a 14 lesson course based on one I have taught often. Here the target
audience is more general so the amount of physics and math has been reduced.
The lessons are Office 2010 Power Point Shows which should run on most Windows
and Mac computers. There are a number of embedded animations included in the
set. For those with Windows computers or access to Windows computers there is
supplemental materials that include more complete and additional animations and
the updated International Energy Simulator described elsewhere that can be used
as a capstone learning experience for the course. The Power Points can be
downloaded separately or in a set with the other software, and that other
software can also be download separately.
NEW: THE PHYSICS OF MOTION
This
is a semester of material aimed at a general student. There is a considerable
amount of Algebra involved, but those segments are mostly optional. The focus
is on the conceptual understanding. The course concentrates on motion since
this is a common phenomenon and experience for all students. The course
examines ideas about motion from Aristotle through Newton to Einstein. The
Power Points used include embedded GIF animations on many topics. The Lab
Simulation software and full Animation packages available above are recommended
for Windows users. The Power Points are self-running and should display on both
Windows and Mac machines.
See
the download section above.

WHILE
USING EXCEL OR DEDICATED GRAPHING SOFTWARE IS MORE THE NORM TODAY, I WROTE
THIS SIMPLIFIED PROGRAM TO GIVE ALL STUDENTS EASY ACCESS. THERE ARE CERTAIN
FEATURES NOT AVAILABLE IN EXCEL. |
MACINTOSH
My animation software no longer runs on the Mac so most software is
Windows only with the exception of the new Power Point based courses. These should
run (even without Power Point on your computer) on both Windows and Mac
machines.
