Physics Lab - Virtual science experiments & learning

Are you an inquisitive student excited to delve deeper into the realm of physics?

Do you consider yourself a science enthusiast eager to exchange ideas with others who share your passion? 

Are you an explorer constrained by conventional methods and budget restrictions? 

Are you an idealist envisioning your own personalized galaxy? 

Are you an educator seeking support with demonstrating physics experiments? 

Experience science through hands-on experimentation in your virtual lab with Physics Lab, now managed by Turtle Sim LLC based in the United States. 

* Please note that the AR mode is currently unavailable in the application. 

Experiment with various circuit components, create your own 3D electric circuits, and observe their functionality in real-time. Everyone can delight in immersive scientific explorations, making it an excellent resource for teachers to illustrate physics concepts in class and for students to investigate both inside and outside the classroom. 

Explore with flexibility 

- Choose from over 55 circuit components (additional components coming soon!) 

- Move them from the toolbox onto your workspace and connect them however you wish 

- All experimental outcomes are scientifically supported and calculated with precision 

- Create your personal galaxy or use models from our solar system

- Engage in electromagnetic experiments with visualized field lines

Superior to traditional methods

- Adjust the properties of circuit components to various values and witness the changes in behavior and statistics in real-time

- Instantly convert your creation into an editable circuit diagram and back again

- No expenses for lab tools and no concerns about safety hazards

A laboratory accessible to all

- Educators have utilized Physics Lab for demonstrating experiments and aiding their teaching efforts in classrooms

- Students from elementary to high school can discover science and explore without limits, anytime and anywhere

- Regardless of age, inquisitive minds now have their virtual lab to gain knowledge through practical experimentation.
