What you can do here
Topic lab library
Browse by module and open labs interactively — MVP marks interactive sketches.
Tune vs formula
Change conditions and watch readouts — align classroom relations with the scene.
Class & self-study
Project demos, inquiry homework, and pair with equation tools when writing.
Popular topics
FAQ
Do I need to install software?
No. Open a lab page in a modern browser and use the controls.
How do I study by topic?
Use Browse by topic to open a module pillar — labs, overview, and FAQ — then enter a lab.
How does this pair with math?
Build physics intuition in labs first; open the equation editor when you need formal expressions.
Which labs can I open?
Every catalog lab is openable. Topic lists mark interactive sketches with an MVP badge — those may be refined later.
What is an MVP lab?
MVP labs include formulas, parameters, and a sketch animation for intuition. Labs without the badge are the fuller bench/3D experience.
