In the secondary school Physics text book, a lot of texts are used to describe the phenomena and is so abstract to understand. For example, to understand how distance between the two coherent sources affect the antinodal lines in wave interference, my children need to use imagination to understand the theories.
If the teachers encourage their students to get the simulations on web, it will be easier for the students to learn.
For the students, they can vary the input parameters ( like frequency of wave) and get different results. This is a kind of interactive learning which makes the learning so interesting!
Can I say that this kind of learning
1) provides multiple representations? The simulation gives the animation of wave movement with the corresponding graph varies synchronously. I don't think the two visuals compete each other. Indeed, the graph describes the effect of interference.
2)is a dual code learning. In the sound interference, we can hear the sound and see the wave movement at the same time.
3)combining visualization and interactivity? Learners can vary the input parameters of the simulation to experience different results.
Anyone gets any idea? Can you find any learning objects using multimodalities?

I like this simulation. I have used something in class that was very similar but I then asked the students to design and experiment that follows the ideas and principles. Being a music school some creative ideas were produced.
