Project Goals:

The goal of this project was to develop a multimedia tool to teach high school students basic physics principles. It is a part of an on-going development effort for Mark Freeman, a physics teacher at the Blacksburg High School.

The project consists of 4 modules which use graphics, sound, animation, as well as text to present information on:

Tools Used:

The Physics Tutorial System was developed using Macromind Director, SoundEdit, Aldus Photoshop, and graphics tools such as MacPro Draw.

Downloading the Physics Education Laboratory Software:

The Physics Education Laboratory software runs on Macintosh computers and requires Macromind Director 4.0 to execute.
