Computational modeling for secondary school physics
PhysicsGo is a modeling app for physics lessons. Students write a model as equations or draw it as a diagram, run it, and test it against their own measurements. Teachers set the assignments, follow every class and give feedback in the same place.
Equation models
Students describe a system the way they would on paper: start values first, then the equations solved every step. PhysicsGo runs the model with Runge-Kutta 4, plots any quantity and animates the result. Sliders let them change the mass or spring constant and run it again.
Classes
See who has handed in, who is still working and who hasn't started yet, for every assignment and every student. One click opens a student's work.
Feedback
Open a hand-in and the student's model, graphs and answers are all there. Approve it or return it for revision, give a mark from 1 to 10 and leave a comment without switching screens.
Measurements
The built-in spectrometer reads a spectrum from the camera or a photo taken through a diffraction grating. Calibrate with known lines, read off the wavelengths and add the result straight to the assignment.
