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. |
