Abstract

One wayto supplementthe teaching of physicsis the use ofcomputer simulations.The articleintroducedAlgodoothat isdesigned forsimulationof mechanical,partially alsooptical phenomenafor elementary,middle andhighschools.The mainemphasis ison realism andphysicalproperties of the individualelementsof the constructivistapproach andheuristicdiscoveryof howthe mechanismworks.The paper discusses thepossibilities of the programandis dedicated to thedetailed description of theapplication can bein the form ofstudiesof the pendulum motion orNewton'scradle.
