9. Developing Flash Animation for Physics
Shahin H. Berisha
GateWay Community College (2008-2009)
Limited use of mathematics in teaching physics makes the learning process of physics abstract phenomena very challenging. This project is designed to make that process less difficult. In the absence of mathematical tools, the use of FLASH animations, instead of just static diagrams, pictures and mathematical formulas, will help to understand relatively difficult concepts in physics.
