Modeling physical phenomena and processes in VPython

To describe physical phenomena, complex models are developed using tool environments and different programming languages. When a phenomenon is inaccessible to our sense, its description is indirect, and understanding can be difficult for students. By obtaining a direct visualization of a phenomenon inaccessible to the senses, a deeper understanding can be achieved, due to the effectiveness of such teaching methods. The use of various visualization tools for teaching is necessary for students to better understand physical phenomena and formulate appropriate mental models. This paper presents a simple visualization tool for 3D objects and graphs, designed for students with minimal programming experience. The purpose of the presented study is to determine the role of simple computer program codes in improving teaching methods in physical laboratories. Students will learn about the importance of the virtual laboratory as an element of visualization in the study of physics.
