The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of a computer simulation to students’ learning of physics concepts (weight and mass). Our simulation was produced using the software Modellus. This study evaluates progresses in understanding made by students (grade 7; 12-13 years old) after one lesson (90minutes) in three different scenarios: using only “hands-on” activities, using only...

Force is a physical influence, which when applied to an object causes it to accelerate in the direction from which it was applied. Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is expressed in kilograms. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object in the same straight line of the unbalanced force. When forces...
