Every Physics Teacher (And Student) Should Try This Open Source Software

“Open source software has always been a cornerstone in scientific applications. From supercomputers to CERN labs, handling some of the greatest discoveries of humankind and accelerating particles beyond imagination, open source software has provided the framework for all necessary technological usage. Bringing it down to a simpler level, KDE’s Step provides you a platform to test out some of the most important basic concepts in physics, like simple motion, electrostatics and gravitation, and even things like spring (harmonic) motion.” It is said a picture is worth a thousand words, so what would an experimental model be worth in words? This is not just watching, but also being able to chnage parameters and see how it effects the physics. This is the way educational software should be: Free of costs, free of adverts, free of tracking, and the ability to study how it functions, and adapt it. See https://itsfoss.com/kde-step
