IGasES: Ideal Gas Educational Simulation

Image
IGasES  is an open-source educational simulation for the teaching and learning of the First Law of Thermodynamics (FLT) for ideal gases. It addresses upper secondary school students and university beginners. It integrates four levels: The tags of the names and short explanations of four thermodynamic processes: isothermal, isochoric, isobaric, and adiabatic. The tag is chosen with a single click. The digital representation of the above processes with the selection of expansion/compression or heating/cooling depending on the process (chosen by a single click). In order for the phenomenon to evolve, click the Play button (upright). The energy chain model of the selected process, which is a graphic representation of the energy changes the system undergoes. This field appears by clicking the Arrow button, down and left on the screen. In order for the energy chain to evolve, click the Play button (upright).

"Designing an educational computer simulation for the thermodynamic processes of ideal gases: epistemological and didactical approaches" Master Thesis by Kalliopi Meli

ABSTRACT The main focus of this research is the developing of a computer simulation for the teaching and learning of the thermodynamic processes of ideal gases using the first thermodynamic law for the students of the second year of upper secondary school. The simulations aims to bridge teaching and learning for the above mentioned chapter of school physics. A series of fields have been investigated, as they interact with each other during the developing of educational material. On the one hand, the epistemological approaches and, on the other hand, the didactical approaches for the modeling of epistemological knowledge have been both scrutinized. Additionally, the research refers to the special advantages of the simulations for the learning and teaching of physical sciences and to the variety of simulations categories that came up through their practical use during the last decades. Regarding the simulation of the thermodynamic processes, the paper includes an analysis of its inte
