LightLab was developed in the context of my paper and is freely available:
- The English version of LightLab 2.0
- The German version of LightLab 2.0
- A short guidance for the use of LightLab 2.0 (at the moment only in German)
- The last changes at LightLab
- If you want to communicate suggestions or criticism to me or to be informed about current inovations, please write me on lightlab@wuenscher.net
Multimedia lesson (in German) about torque for differencing between simulation/animation and high/low level of instructional guidance
- At the moment there is only one version with simulation in the web (on the site of IPN)
- If you want to receive the version with animation please contact me: Drehmomente@Wuenscher.net
Multimedia lesson (in German) about principle of the lever (also on the site of IPN) for differencing between one and three degrees of freedom per Simulation
A program for demonstrating visual effects as ZIP-File
Clock with alarm and graphical display of the remaining time
