The site is a collection of links to sites on the web that have computerized simulations of scientific principles. In addition, the student may be given the opportunity to manipulate one or more variables underlying the concept and then witness the changes. 

PhysicsLab

http://www.physicslab.co.uk/

This site offers free  programs that are about serious physics of up to  A and  A S level  or College standard.  They are experiments you can do with your mouse.

 Foundation for Quantm Theory

The following well-known experiments serve as a motivation for studying quantum theory.
Very good simulations for Blackboday Radiation, Photoelectric effect and Compton effect.

 The experimental results cannot be explained using ideas from classical physics

Concept Simulation

Audio with Applets covering topics in Mechanics, Optics, M&E,Heat and Modern Physics

The Physics Laboratory Simulator provides an opportunity to teachers
and students to use simulations to support their current curriculum.
Simulations include:

This is offered free for non-commercial, educational use only.

Springs: (used to measure spring constant and vibrational periods)
Pendulum: (used
to investigate how the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum
depends on the length l, of the string, the mass, m, of the bob and the
amplitude of the swing.
Friction: ( used to measure the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction)
Standwave: ( used to investigate the factors which determine resonance in standing waves on strings)
These simulations can be downloaded from http://www.saintmarys.edu/~rtarara/DOWNLOADS.html

VIRTUAL PHYSICS LABORATORY - NTNUJAVA Simulations

http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/

Physics made simple through the use of interactive content using Java Applets (Mechanics, Dynamics, waves, thermodyamics, electromagnets, light/optics and others
Simulation can help us visualize the physics model. You will find hundreds of physics related java simulations on this web site.

Registered users can download the Java simulations for offline use. Registration is free.

A very rich
collection of interactive Java applets teachers and students can use to
illustrate abstract concepts. The applets cover the topics of
Mechanics, Oscillations and waves, Electrodynamics, Optics,
Thermodynamics, Physics of Atoms and Nuclear Physics.
These Java applets can be viewed online but can also be downloaded and installed on content servers on the school Intranets.
