Simulations
Physics Simulation Library
Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs. The following simulations are included: Newton's Second Law, Atwood's Machine, Kinetic Friction, and Static Friction.

Explorations
Multimedia Physics Studio
A set of seven multimedia animations depicts elephants and feathers, automobiles, and skydivers to demonstrate the physics of air resistance, free fall, inertia, and Newton's laws of motion. Each animation includes a brief tutorial and interactive exercises.
