Scientific equipment, experiments & techniques; Physics; Educational: Physics

This book describes more than thirty physics practicals at high school and undergraduate levels with background information on each one, a description of the equipment needed, and instructions on how the experiment is performed. Uniquely, for those without access to a real laboratory, the book provides access to highly detailed 3D simulations of all the experiments.

The simulations are a superset of the Virtual Physics Laboratory as reviewed and given the Green Tick of Approval by the Association for Science Education. They run in any browser that supports WebGL, such as Microsoft Edge or Firefox on Windows and Safari on Mac. For the school or university student who wants to practice and widen their knowledge of physics, or for those who are learning on their own, this is an ideal book for honing and broadening experimental skills.

The simulations are the result of many years researching the teaching of online science, a field in which the author has published many papers.

Rob Lucas has worked in and around education for forty years. As well as teaching at university undergraduate and postgraduate levels, he has created many software products for teaching. These include TOM, the Thoroughly Obedient Moron, which is a computer simulator for Windows, the Virtual Language Laboratory, which was the first multimedia language lab that used a PC network, and many science 3d simulations based on his research into online methods for teaching Physics.
