Interactive Physics was an early champion of constructionism—the educational philosophy that learners construct mental models best when they are actively building physical or digital artifacts. — End

You could change gravity (or turn it off entirely), adjust air resistance, and modify the "bounciness" of surfaces. You could change gravity (or turn it off

Interactive Physics 1989 was a masterclass in software design. It proved that computers were not just digital textbooks, but dynamic tools for discovery. It democratized physics education, allowing any classroom with a computer to simulate dangerous, expensive, or structurally impossible experiments safely and perfectly.

Users could draw objects like circles and rectangles.
