Universe Sandbox is an advanced simulator and a fascinating tool to use in your physics classes. For younger students (grades k- 7), it could be an engaging way to introduce the solar system and examine the effects of gravity. For older students (grade 8-12), Universe Sandbox could be used to explore more complicated issues such as the greenhouse phenomena and climate change.
Using Universe Sandbox, you and your students can create and destroy planets on an unimaginable scale whether on a large screen or through VR headsets.
