The document discusses the use of Easy Java Simulations (EJS) for creating computer simulations in physics education, emphasizing how educators can utilize this tool to enhance teaching and learning experiences. It highlights various open-source EJS applets relevant to different physics concepts and encourages collaboration within the global EJS learning community. The document also expresses gratitude to contributors in the field and invites participation in initiatives for free quality education.

1. Physics Educators as Designers of Simulation using Easy Java Simulation ( Ejs ) Loo Kang WEE Ministry of Education, Education Technology Division, SG [email_address] http:// sgeducation.blogspot.com American Association of Physics Teachers National Meeting Conference: 2010 Summer Meeting — Portland, Oregon July 17 - 21

2. What is Ejs? Easy Java Simulations is a software tool (java code generator) designed for the creation of discrete computer simulations. http://www.um.es/fem/EjsWiki/index.php/Main/WhatIsEJS

3. How can you use Ejs? Teachers create virtual laboratory simulations can deepen professional practice through informal learning Teacher learning community students can conduct inquiry learning of science ( embedding meaningful ICT experiences, redesign curriculum for school ) students create their own simulations, thus engaging in ‘learning-by-making’ http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/syllabuses/sciences/files/science-primary-2008.pdf

4. Ejs open source simple harmonic applet SHM for inquiry learning virtual lab Derived work based on F. Esquembre (Paco)’s Ejs Example

5. Ejs open source 1 D collision carts for Elastic and Inelastic Collision Derived work based on F. Esquembre (Paco)’s Ejs Example

6. Ejs Open Source Geostationary Satellite around Earth Java Applet Derived work based on F. Esquembre (Paco)’s Ejs Example

7. Ejs open source Vernier calipers java applet with objects, help & 0-error logic Derived work based on Fu-Kwun Hwang applets

8. Ejs Open Source Bar Magnet & Compass Model with Earth visualization java applet by: Wolfgang Christian, Francisco Esquembre Fu-Kwun Hwang & Loo Kang WEE

9. Ejs Open Source Horizontal Circular Motion of Mass on a table java applet Derived work based on Fu-Kwun Hwang applets

10. Ejs Open Source Alternating Current Generator Model ( AC Generator ) by: Fu-Kwun Hwang , Loo Kang WEE , Wolfgang Christian , Francisco Esquembre & Anne Cox
