Abstract

Teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), particularly physics, faces challenges in engaging students and developing problem-solving skills. Traditional methods often fail to address these issues. Interactive learning environments, such as virtual laboratories, offer promising alternatives. This paper presents a virtual laboratory environment integrated into web applications, to support teaching of complex concepts like differential equations, 3D vectors, and optics. The modular structure allows seamless integration into different course websites, enabling educators to customize simulations for various learning scenarios. The virtual lab provides students with interactive simulations that facilitate exploration, experimentation, and visualization, enhancing the understanding of challenging physical phenomena. By manipulating parameters and observing dynamic changes, students gain hands-on experience in a safe, engaging environment.
