Abstract

The motivation of the present article is to focus on the enhancement of teaching and learning in Physics. This article emphasizes on the implementation of simulation and visualization techniques for physics teaching. A class is a union of different kind of students from different backgrounds and capabilities of learning. Some of them may visualize the problem in their mind while some of them may not. In that case, to better understand the problem, visualization of the problem may help the students to understand and to make an attempt at solving it.
