Super simple stellar parallax sim for #astro101 https://t.co/er3cyXfq5u

Everyone knows, however odd it seems, that physicists spend most of their lives on ramps that are at an angle θ w.r.t the ground, right? Now you can see what we see. #iteachphysics https://t.co/fNO88kE5pq

With the recent #AdobeFlashDeath (tip of the hat to an old friend), we'll try to fill some gaps in #scisims. Here's a @PhETsims classic done with @p5xjs . Give it a whirl. There's room for improvement so do report back via a GH issue or here. #introastro

Make a quick plot to show the quadratic y(t) function.

A simple in-class or #athome activity for free fall in intro #physics : https://t.co/QyODRN36rz

Do you want to know what color a star is? @JanVincentHarre and @DrReneHeller have a new paper out that provides insight. @jameshedberg has created a great visualization tool to go along with it. This is super for Astronomy 101 lessons or the Astro-curious

Here's the start of a new offshoot from @SciSims: Kinder-Sims! Some super simple, #stem related @p5xjs based sims for Pre-K level exploration of geometry and other topics. https://t.co/hEk19khYPP ... more to come I hope. (and no ads or annoying sounds...)

Here's the sim on display. It shows the blackbody spectrum and star color based on temperature. (Do test it out please and let us know how it looks on your device - we only have so many here at home)

In case you were wondering what that noise was over the weekend, that was the sound of me figuring out the trick to getting all our @p5xjs sketches to look great and behave in all different shapes and sizes of browsers. Oh the difference a little <meta> tag can make.

#scisim of the day: Standing waves in a closed-closed tube. https://t.co/a2avvoAPDT #introphysics #waves #sound

New #scisim : Centripetal Acceleration vector and linear velocity vectors for a particle going around in a circle. #iteachphysics https://t.co/ypyasR3W00

It begins - the great update of 2020.🧗 It's going to take a while to get all these sims back in order. Here's a favorite of mine, built by a CCNY physics major. It shows qualitative intensities of the famous double slit diffraction pattern. #Physics https://t.co/qiJ6kv1HcJ

We've been a little outa touch recently 😴. But, given all the need for quality science edu-tech, we're starting up the motors again. Stay tuned for more. In the meantime, here's a new color mixing sim for the kiddos: https://t.co/gfRkvQHzUN (should be touch/mobile friendly)

Sliders and Text boxes are now on speaking terms. Here's a little tut that shows you how to coordinate a range slider and a textbox input in a #p5js sketch. https://t.co/S0CH0IG2JF

Q: What can p5 do? A: a lot. Here's some little things to spark the flame of creativity.

Random fun stuff: Here is Chris' lab activity where students use the pressure sensor on their smartphones to measure the pressure difference between the bottom and top of the stairs. Then they use this to estimate of the height of the edge of space (P=0) https://t.co/qHLyy5hd85

A day on Mercury is pretty long. Here's a recent JavaScript & @p5xjs sim that shows why a day lasts 2 years on Mercury. Enjoy. https://t.co/iFaLuBXSKM

More astro sims on the way! Here's another historical one, this time in 3d, showing the basic Aristotelian universe. https://t.co/qRa0O1hmNM

Two new sims about interference and diffraction: https://t.co/ikX3X9BKcy and https://t.co/p8dc55Lm6h Nice work Merna!

Had fun yesterday at #CCFestNYC Here's our #p5js based science/math sims collection - some built by students! https://t.co/oX6Vnf9bgJ all are invited to contribute!
