  1. Interactive Simulationsof Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia

  2. Overview • Goal + Motivation • Related Approaches • Interaction • Testing + Conclusions • Demonstration • Future Work CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  3. To create an educational, interactive and multimedia application, which in the same way as our resource book, helped to find and understand relations in physical phenomena. Physics as an Adventure of Cognition Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld Goal CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  4. Motivation Children want to play • The real games (physical experiment) + touch • Experiment in our application + possibility to change many other parameters CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  5. Related Approaches • Applets on web pages • Crocodile Clips • Didakta -Fyzika CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  6. Interaction • Ones own experience is the best teacher • People like to control CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  7. Scenariolevel 1 The Introduction CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  8. Scenario level 2 Each experiment contains • Instructions • Questions • Interactive simulation CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  9. Scenariolevel 3 Interactive simulation interaction mouse keyboard buttons 4-5 objects start start menu CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  10. Scenariolevel 4 MENU: CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  11. Sounds • To hear or to read? • Recording wav-files • Compression to mp3-files (Lame) • The biggest part of application • Multilingual CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  12. Testing • Pre-testing (20 people) • Testing with children • 8-9 years old (3x15 children) • 14-16 years old (2x15 children) CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  13. Conclusions • Application is appropriate for children who have already started learning physics • Supplementary learning tool in the educational process • Support the children’s understanding of physics CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  14. Demonstration CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  15. Future Work • Record sounds also for questions • Add some music to silent places • Create more experiments • Create version for Internet = sounds replaced by texts • Create experiments as interactive realistic 3D models CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  16. CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner

  17. Software - Flash • Interaction • SVG • Import sounds (mp3) • Resultant size of application is suitable for CD • Accessible (license) CEIMVRC04 Interactive Simulation of Elementary Physical Experiments Alena Kovárová & Silvester Czanner
