Abstract

No Lab Physics is a system for creating custom, virtual physics labs for students. With our free and open source Web app, anyone can create and share physics experiments. No Lab Physics is not the first app to contain virtual physics labs, but our prototype is unique in that it allows students to easily create and share virtual labs without code. Although we think students who have the ability should continue to do in-person labs, our project could be useful to those students as well. Students can perform labs that would be dangerous in real life or that would require materials that their schools cannot afford. Our virtual labs make it easier to quickly change the setup and make precise measurements. There are also experiments that can be performed with our app that would be difficult or impossible to do in person.
