The Physics Classroom: Waves and Sound: Mass on a Spring Interactive
Students can investigate with this realistic, richly-interactive environment for investigating the periodic motion of a mass on a spring.
Physics Aviary
Physics Aviary: Pendulum Lab
This lab is designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the rate at which a pendulum oscillates. Students can change the length of the pendulum, the angle of release, and the heavenly body on which the pendulum is...
