Teaching with Technology Cy- Seilias Physics and Photography
Seilias Physics and Photography is a very good web page with which students can see certain physical phenomena in three dimensions , so they can acquire a better understanding of them .
We use it for certain chapters in Physics where the use of the whiteboard is not effective enough to allow the students a better understanding . A very good example of this is the chapter on Oscillation .
When we wanted to show the connection between oscillation of a spring and circular movement , we connected to this web page in class and the students could see a simulation which helped them understand the connection better .
In a few words .. In Theory , Theory and Practice are the Same but In Practice They ’ re Different .

In the simulation below press play
in order to see the movement of the body at
each point in time .
Observe the projection of the yellow point on the vertical axis . What kind of
movement does it perform ?
Drag the yellow point so as to change its original position so that the oscillation
acquires a starting phase .
Drag the speed vector to change the linear speed and therefore the angular speed
also ( R = constant ).
Change the radius of the circular orbit to change the width of the oscillation .
Change the angular speed of the circular movement in order to see how the angular
frequency of the oscillation is affected .
Move the time runner in relation to the period so as to see the position of the point
at a certain moment in time t .
