A Free Particle Interactives
A set of Desmos simulations covering a wide range of physics including many about mechanics – an excellent resource for teachers and students. Created by Michael Freeman.
States of Matter
Investigating molecules bouncing around in a piston in various states of matter. Good thermodynamics simulations by PhET.
Interactive Molecular Dynamics
Particle simulation that is great for exploring thermodynamics, or Newtonian mechanics, gas laws, etc. Created by Dan Schroeder.
Entropy Explained, With Sheep
Blog post about Entropy, full of interactive simulations. Written clearly and understandably, also with sheep. Created by Aatish Bhatia.
Fowler’s Physics Applets
Collection of small physics simulations, many including nice explanations. Built by Michael Fowler.
myPhysicsLab
Lots of small simulations of things like pendulums and springs, where you can easily change the values, too. By Erik Neumann.
Sandboxels
A simulation of falling sand and so much more, a surprising amount of physics built into this toy. Created by the R74n Collective.
Falstad Gas
Particles bouncing around in a box, with lots of options for changing the setup. Includes thermodynamic quantities, too. Built by Falstad.
Particle Clicker
A humorous idle game about particle colliders and the physics process. Created by Biro, Babuschkin, Dungs, Novak, and Zhang.
